Hi Charlie,
Royal TSX 4.0.2.2 beta is now available and includes the Command/Key Sequence Task context dashboard.
Please let us know if it works as expected for you!
thx,
felix
Felix, this is great news! I'll keep an eye out for the next beta release. Thanks!
Hey Charlie,
we implemented the task context dashboard today and it will be included in the next Royal TSX beta update.
We won't have support for the automatic tab switching though as our implementation on the Mac executes key sequences simultaneously. If you want to keep track of what's happening inside the remote sessions, I can recommend switching to the Overview once you start your key sequences as it lets you see multiple connections at once.
cheers,
felix
Thanks Felix,
Ah, ok, I was missing the filter steps. I followed your steps and have confirmed this implementation works. The only trouble I'll have is the way we've organized our sequences since they exist in sub folders and are usually only for specific VMs in that sub folder. We have over 100 sequences created that way. The need to make them a favorite will become confusing since many have similar names but different functions.
I suspect if you can get the key sequence dashboard added, that will satisfy our needs. The goal for me would be to just select the task or sequence and then see all the active connections in the dashboard to selectively run it against with no need to set them as favorites. The upside here is (in Windows) is moves form tab to tab and you can see the commands being executed.
Thanks again for your work! This is easily the best program out there for this sort of thing.
Hi Charlie,
what exactly can't you get to work?
Here's how to execute a key sequence task against multiple connected sessions at once in the current beta:
Hope that helps!

Hey Felix,
Thanks for working on this. I can't get the Favorite Key Sequences to work for me but I'm sure I'm missing something. I think the dedicated key sequence task dashboard will be perfect for my needs. Looking forward to this implementation. Thanks again for your hard work!

The Mac version is missing a major and VERY useful feature the Windows client has. In the Windows client you can run a key sequence against the connections you choose. Not to be confused with the broadcast option but rather the more targeted method.
For example, if you connect to 10 SSH sessions and then pick a key sequence, the dashboard allows you to run that sequence against, one, three... any or all of the sessions that show in the dashboard. It automatically moves through each session and runs the sequence before moving to the next session. On the Mac you can only run the sequence on one session at a time and it requires it to be done manually.
It'd be nice to get this in the Mac version. Maybe even expand it's functionality on both platforms so that it can act similarly to the broadcast option, just on the specifically selected sessions.
