10 Hidden Features in WinTermPlus You Should Be Using
1. Session Profiles
Create multiple session profiles with saved environment variables, startup commands, and window layouts to switch quickly between projects.
2. Command Snippets (Hotkeys)
Save frequently used commands as snippets and bind them to hotkeys or a snippet palette for one‑key insertion and execution.
3. Smart Tab Management
Group tabs into named workspaces, restore tab groups on launch, and use quick keyboard shortcuts to jump between tab groups.
4. Persistent Scrollback
Enable persistent scrollback per session so output is saved between restarts; searchable history allows fast retrieval of previous outputs.
5. Customizable Key Mapping Layers
Define layered keymaps (normal, application, modal) so the same keys perform different actions depending on mode or active application.
6. Integrated SFTP/SSH File Browser
Browse remote files via SFTP within the terminal UI, drag files between local and remote panes, and open remote files directly in your editor.
7. Inline Output Filters
Apply regex filters to live output to highlight, hide, or transform lines (e.g., colorize errors, collapse repeated logs) without altering the stream.
8. Terminal Multiplexing
Split a window into multiple panes with synchronized input, shared clipboard, and pane layouts that can be saved and restored.
9. Macro Recorder and Playback
Record sequences of keystrokes and terminal responses as macros with conditional waits and replay them across sessions.
10. Theme & Font Profiles with Per-Host Overrides
Create visual themes and font sets, then assign per-host overrides so sessions to specific machines automatically use the correct color scheme and font size.
If you want, I can expand any of these into a short how‑to with steps and recommended settings.
