Save a Session layout and or Broadcast input?
I have 4 ssh sessions that I would always like to open as a embedded Quad pane. i.e. 2 x 2. Then additionally add to broadcast input. Is this even possible or at least one or the other? Can you save a session layout as something? Then in the future just a double click away?
I know I can drag and drop each embedded tab to the create the layout in the screen shot below but can I save it?

Hello,
We actually do support the broadcast feature with our SSH Shell entry. You can activate it by right clicking one of your opened SSH tabs > Broadcast Input > Manage Broadcast. From there, you can select the SSH entries you want to broadcast to, and the keystrokes will be shared between the selected SSH entries.
Let me know if this works for your scenario.

Is there a way to "save" the layout and broadcast selection? e.g. I have a web farm of 4 servers and I want them effectively treated as 1 'session' so save the layout and broadcast selection.
I perform a control select on the Navigation pane, right click open sessions (4). In order to layout the windows currently I am using the drag and "drop zone" feature:
https://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/view_embeddedsessions.html Is there a better way? Something like right click open session tiled? Or one open can you tile them via the menu? tile vertical and horizontal almost work but always seem to include the dashboard (even when the dashboard is off)
Hello,
You can do right click > Open with parameters > Open in pane, but this requires already having the panes "configured" (so already having dragged the tabs and made your own layout), so for your scenario I don't think it would work.
I've opened a ticket to see how we could work this out, at the moment there is no way to save/load specific layouts.

Maybe a feature request for the Playlist? Embedded --> tiled? Or Maybe a ribbon section to setup pane templates? you could make a 4 up or 6up or 2x1 type layouts. And then assign sessions to them?
Those are good ideas, I've added them to the ticket. It would indeed be a good fit for the playlist feature.
