Easy to use terminal commands
I'm a long time RoyalTSX user and recently switched to Windows.
With the switch to Windows I also tried RoyalTS and RemoteDesktopManager for Windows.
I favour RDM but what I miss are my frequently used terminal commands favourites.
With RoyalTSX I had a list of frequently used terminal commands (for instance: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade).
When I was connected to a Ubuntu server and double clicked such favourite command it executed on the open tab.
I can't seem to find something like this in RDM.
There is a SSH terminal command macro but when executing a command from such macro it opens a new tab instead of executing it in the current tab.
Any help is appreciated!

Hello,
I think currently in RDM you can achieve something similar in two ways. In both cases, it would require something like a Typing Macro entry, and not an SSH Command Line entry.
1. With your SSH entry opened, in the ribbon, there is "execute script in terminal":
From there, you can choose your typing macro entry, and it will execute it in the currently focused terminal.
2. You can also do this by right clicking your SSH entry in the tree, and under "Macro/Script/Tools", running your typing macro.
I know this isn't exactly how RoyalTS does it, but we will open a ticket to take a look at how we can improve this workflow. We're thinking of allowing a user to choose "favorite" macros like you were describing, accessible through either the terminal's context menu or its toolbar, for quicker access.
As a side note, the fact that an "SSH Command Line" entry always opens a new instance of the terminal was intended, but we'll add an option to execute it in the currently selected terminal, since it would be more useful this way.
I hope with these changes, it will be easier for you to work with Remote Desktop Manager. 🙂 We'll update this thread once we are working on the previously mentioned improvements.

Many thanks for the detailed answer!
I will use the typing macro for now and hopefully in the near future we can have ssh command line entries. :-)

Sounds awesome!
