Some friction setting up a profile

I stuck with this despite the fact that editing a profile is tricky. It seems that I can’t just edit a text field and click ok; it seems that I need to click another field in order for an edit to be recognized.

I appreciate the simplicity of this app. I hope the developer can manage to avoid feature creep and nagware that plagues so many other apps.

Avoid

Developer is not responsive to bug reports!

Good tab based ssh client

Everything was fine till the update. After that I keep the cursor block getting dragged across the screen and have to use Ctrl+L to refresh the screen and clear the cursor artifacts. Hope this will be fixed in the next issue.

Buggy

Unfortunately the app is buggy and can’t manage local profiles.

I didn't understand how to use this terminal

When I open it, a screen appears asking me to create a profile (the person just wants to open a terminal. Zero usability, terrible).

Then I realize that the only profile available is for an SSH session. Ok, I filled in the connection details to test it, but it doesn't connect to a local server. Maybe because the server requires an SSH key? But doesn't it automatically look for it in ~/.ssh/config? Well, there's no option to enter the key manually.

Or have I not understood the usefulness of this tool? So far it's completely horrible.
