Shortcut Button Bar

Hi,

Just to be sure I understand correctly. SecureCRT has a feature where you can set some kind of shortcuts to frequently used commands that will appear at the bottom of the window and can be executed by being clicked on? Are those global to the application or specific to the entries? What's the role of the pop up button at the left end of the bottom bar?

Best regards,

Hi,

Just to be sure I understand correctly. SecureCRT has a feature where you can set some kind of shortcuts to frequently used commands that will appear at the bottom of the window and can be executed by being clicked on? yes you got it right

A distinction can be made for each device. For example, there is a command shortcut for devices such as Fortigate, Checkpoint, Juniper QFX, SRX on my screen.

The purpose of these shortcuts is important because I manage multiple brands of devices, they help me remember the forgotten commands by adding shortcuts.

Hi,

I've discovered that we have a similar feature in RDM Windows (under the Macros tab of the SSH settings view). We've opened an improvement ticket and we will get back in touch when the feature is done.

Hi freeundismayed,

Unfortunately, we haven't had the time to work on this. I can also already tell you that it will not be available for the 2022.2 release (that is coming in early June).

This will be one of the first task that we will work on after the June release and we will try it to get it available for one of the following patch.

Best regards,

Hi,
What's the latest on the feature?

Best regards,

Hi,
Unless something goes wrong, the feature should be available in the next release.
But I can't give a release date for it yet.

Best regards,

Thank you for your attention. I really need this feature. With this feature, you can attract all SecureCRT users. :)

HI freeundismayed,

I just finished implementing the Macro Bar feature you requested and it has been added to the latest release of Remote Desktop Manager for Mac (2022.2.8.0 and up).

In order to give you and head start, here's a quick tutorial showing you how to use Macro Bar inside an SSH terminal window:

1. In order to use the Macro Bar you will need to create Typing macros inside the same vault as the connection you wish to use the macros on. To create a macro, simply right click -> Add -> Macro/Script/Tool inside the panel containing the vault entries on the left side of the application main window:
2. In the entry creation window that appears double click the Typing Macro to create the macro:
3. Inside the the popup that appears you can name the macro however you like (the name of the macro will be the one used to identify the macro the inside the Macro Bar) and most importantly, under the Typing Macro tab, you can define the commands executed by the macro using our Macro Scripting Language: For more information about writing macro using the Macro Scripting Language see https://kb.devolutions.net/rdm_event_auto_typing_macro.html Note: You can Also modify the icon associated with the macro by clicking the Image to the right of the name field under the General tab. `
4. To display the macro bar inside a SSH Terminal window you will need to go inside the connection settings (Right click the connection -> Properties) and select yes in the Enable macro dropdown menu under General -> SSH Shell -> Macro:
5. By default the connection contains all the macros inside the vault, in order to change this behavior and select a custom set of macro to use with the connection you will need to select the Custom Selection option inside the Macro list source dropdown menu.
6. Adding macros to the connection is pretty simple and is done by clicking the "+" button in the bottom left corner of the list, selecting the macro you want to add to the connection and clicking Ok.
7. You can also change the order of appearance of the macros inside the Macro Bar by changing their position in the list using the arrows at the bottom of the list.
8. After saving your modifications on the connection you will be able to use the Macro Bar inside this connection (Note the presence of the toolbar at the bottom of the terminal window):
9. To execute a macro inside the connection simply click on it inside the Macro Bar.

Note 1: You can also hide the Macro Bar by right clicking on the bar and selecting "Hide Macro Toolbar", to display the Macro Bar after hiding it you will need to right click the tab at the top of the connection window and select "Show Macro Toolbar". (This is not remembered between sessions so re-opening the connection will always show the Macro Bar if the "Enable Macro" is set to Yes).

Note 2: There is one issue with the Macro Bar that we were not able to find before the release of the feature. The issue arises when trying to change the size of 2 separated windows with 'Enable Macro' activated and causes Remote Desktop Manager to hang. The good news is that a Ticket has been created in order to fix this issue and the corrections should be available soon, I will keep you updated on this.

HI freeundismayed,

I have investigated the problem that you reported and if everything goes according to plan this should be fixed in the next release of Remote Desktop Manager.

Hello Marc,

The new update has arrived but when I add a folder the app crashes.

When I add a folder, sub-objects do not appear.

HI freeundismayed,

I will look into the issue you just reported and get back to you as soon as possible.

Best regards,

Hi,

RDM 2022.2.15.0 is now be available with a fix for the latest issue you mentioned.

Best regards,

Thank you very much guys for this feature.
Can you make the text field for the Typing Macro... multiline? That will make it even better.

Keep up the excellent work !!!!

We will open an improvement ticket.

Best regards,

Hi jorgedelgado,

Sorry for the delay! The ticket seems to have fell between the cracks. That being said, the Typing Macro macro field should now be multi-line as of RDM Mac 2023.1.12.0.

Best regards,
