Set a preference for initial window size in MacOS
When opening in MacOS the initial window is always relatively small and I always have to resize it. With the "Terminal" app I can save a preference for the window size.
Hallo Arnoud,
First of all thank you for this nice and handy App. I use it very often and I love it. I just have two annoying problems maybe a bug. I describe what I do and what is the result. On my iMac I start WebSSH it appears in the middle of the screen. I move it to the right side of the screen to make some space for another App (Safari, …). If I close the WebSSH and open it again, it appears again in the middle of the screen. Every time I must move it to the right and adjust the width. It cannot to save the previous positions and every time I must do this.
Also when I select Hide Sidebar, the next time I start de WebSSH it appears again.
Is it possible to solve these issue or should I wait for the next Update? I have the pro version and this happens also on my Macbook Pro. I always install the last version.
Thank you in advanced.
Best regards,
MO
Hello Mo 👋
Thank you so much for your feedback and support about WebSSH 🙏
You're right these are two known issues that I need to address (https://github.com/isontheline/pro.webssh.net/issues/681 + https://github.com/isontheline/pro.webssh.net/issues/646 + https://github.com/isontheline/pro.webssh.net/issues/630) These aren't trivial because some features are unavailable inside Mac Catalyst framework. I will try to find how to resolve them.
Have a nice day ☀️

very nice and handy SSH client and easy to use. The only irritation is that, every time I start WebSSH, it apears in the middel of the screen, I change the posiotion to right or left, next time I open it and again appears in the middle of screen! It can't save the previous position. Please address this issue, every single can save the previous postion but webssh can't. I mailed developer about year ago, but till now no solution.

I haven't added a new comment on this issue in quite a while, but the Catalyst issues you listed above still exist. Notably, opening WebSSH always opens to a smallish window in the center of the screen, and tabbing between fields doesn't work. The tabbing is usually when I'm creating a new server and I'd like to tab through the entries for host, username, group, etc... Tabbing instead bounces from the entry fields to the "SSH" inventory item on the left and then down to the Private Key field in the new host entry. Just goes back and forth between those two after that. My only option is to shift my hands from the keyboard to the mouse/trackpad to get to the other required fields.
@sbrooke Many thanks for your feedback
Tabbing issue is tracked here : https://github.com/isontheline/pro.webssh.net/issues/764 I don't have found yet how to tell the system to keep inside the fields instead of switching to other parts of the app
I will try to fix the window size / location as I've just found a snippet on Internet (which doesn't use any private API) that could do the job

A first attempt is available on the latest beta release WebSSH 25.6.1300 : https://testflight.apple.com/join/QSrBK59z
