Hello Ales,
Thank you for testing 2026.3.16.0 and for the detailed description. Good to hear that opening the SSH sessions one by one now works as expected, including the keyboard shortcuts for moving between tabs.
For the case where you open several sessions with Ctrl+Enter on the folder, we tried to reproduce it on 2026.3.16.0 with a folder of four SSH Shell entries. We confirmed the "Do you want to open 4 sessions?" prompt and then clicked each tab header, both after the sessions had connected and while they were still connecting. In every tab, the terminal took the keyboard focus right away, so we could not see the problem on our side yet. That means something in your setup or in the exact steps differs from ours, and we would like to find out what.
Could you please answer the following?
- How many SSH entries are in the folder, and are they all direct entries of that folder, or is there a subfolder?
- Do the entries use a typing macro, an after-opening event, or another event that runs after connecting?
- Is the anchor icon in the status bar at the bottom right of the main window turned on? (This is a different icon from the tray icon of RDM.)
- Under File - Settings - User interface - Tree view, what are the values of "Auto-focus tab on item select" and "Auto-select item on tab focus"?
- Is the main window maximized when this happens, and are the tabs docked in the main window?
- If you select the same entries and use Open selection from the right-click menu instead of Ctrl+Enter on the folder, does the focus problem also appear?
A short screen recording would help us a lot. Please keep the whole RDM window visible, open the sessions with Ctrl+Enter on the folder, and then switch through the tabs until you reach one where the cursor focus is missing. You can send me the video via DM, I will DM you now so you can see where to send it.
The tab navigation shortcuts that stop working are already being followed in your other case, so we will keep that part there. If a tab does not take the focus, clicking once inside the terminal is the only workaround for now.
Thank you for your patience and your help.
Best regards,

Hello Sam.
there are 16 SSH sessions directly in th folder (no subfolders)
no typing macro and no any other action after openning session
the anchor icon is turned on
both values of "Auto-focus tab on item select" and "Auto-select item on tab focus" are set to "never"
yes - the window is maximalized and the tabs are docked in the main window
yes - it is same behavior with CTRL + ENTER or content menu (not matter how it is done)
BUT now I see the difference between your tests and my tests. I open whole folder with sessions with CTRL + ENTER. Goal is this:
- You are moving between session by clicking on tab and it is functional.
- BUT I moving between tabs by keyboard shortcuts. I switch from first tab to next tab by keyboard shortcut CTRL+ALT+PGDOWN (next tab navigation) and the cursor in second session is inactive and from now are keyboard shortcuts between tab navigation not functional.
I hope that it helps.
Thank You very much.
Best regards,
Ales
