### 3/5 — Agent Forwarding doesn’t work.

*2025-09-30*

A main advertised feature of SSH agent forwarding doesn’t work. 
The SSH key works when loaded normally but the built in agent does not connect to the server

**Developer response:** Sorry, this bug has been fixed. Please update and try again.

### 5/5 — 使用手册

*2025-09-26*

请问哪里可以找到使用手册？文件传输功能不知道怎么用

### 4/5 — 刚需，缺陷

*2025-08-12*

比如全部会话关闭，或者当前会话前的会话全部关闭，当前会话后的会话全部关闭，以及关闭全部，例如浏览器的标签页。以及这个左侧，能不能不要替用户做决定，打开一个会话就关闭，侧边栏，高频需要的需求，老是自动关闭

### 3/5 — Good but need some improvement

*2025-07-19*
