This topic lists the options available on the View menu.

Toolbar
Toggles the toolbar on and off.
Toggles the session tabs on and off. Tabs can also be enabled using the Show session tabs option on the Global Options/Terminal/Appearance dialog.

The SecureCRT Command window provides an interface to the remote command line that is unaffected by concurrent output to the terminal screen. The Command window is useful for issuing subsequent commands. While waiting for the output of a previous command to complete, you can prepare the next command by typing it into the Command window. The contents of the Command window are sent to the command line as soon as the ENTER key is pressed in the Command window.
You can prepare multiple lines in the Command window with CTRL+ENTER.
SecureCRT will remember the number of recently used Command window commands that are specified in the Command window history option of the Global Options/Terminal/Appearance dialog. You can cycle through these commands using your UP and DOWN arrow keys. Entering a 0 for the Command window history will turn off this feature.
To select the sessions that commands will be sent to, right-click in the Command window and choose one of the following from the Send Commands to submenu:
Active Session - Send commands only to the active session. This is the default.
All Sessions - Send commands to all your open sessions at once.
Selected Tab Group(s) - Send commands to one or more tab groups. This setting is automatically selected when you right-click on a tab and enable Send Commands to This Group. When commands are being sent to selected tab groups, the tabs of the sessions that commands will be sent to contain an asterisk in front of the session name.
Visible Sessions - Send commands to all visible tabbed sessions. When there are multiple tab groups, commands will be sent to the currently active session in each tab group.
If you want to send control characters to a session or edit files using an editor like vi, right-click in the Command windows and select the Send Characters Immediately option. Characters will be sent as soon as they are typed as long as this option is enabled. This option can be used in conjunction with the Send Commands to All Sessions option.
