gnome-terminal: Set working directory for other tabs?

Robert Coup — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 21:47:25 -0000

Ubuntu Maverick, default desktop environment...

When I open a SSH connection from the SSHMenu panel applet, it connects fine. If I hit ctrl+shift+t to create a new (non-ssh) tab in the same window, the working directory of the tab is /, instead of /home/me where my normal terminal windows & tabs start at.

I think this is because, while the gnome-panel process has it's cwd (via /proc/PID/cwd) as /home/me, the sshmenu-applet process has it's cwd as /.
In fact, looking further, most applets seem to have / as its cwd (except for network, bluetooth & printer... no idea why).

I'm guessing either using --working-directory=$HOME when launching gnome-terminal or setting the cwd of the applet to HOME might do it?

Icon for Gnome panel

would it be possible to put an icon in the dock, perhaps the same one that shows in the add applet wizard.

open tab on existing gnome-terminal window

Hi,

Would be nice to have options like "open as tab on current window" and "open all as tabs in current window".

Option to launch program without a terminal

Peter Williams — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 09:56:08 -0000

It would nice to be able to launch X windows programs on a remote using sshmenu.
You can mor or less do this now by adding the command name after the host name but you end up with a useless terminal hanging around as well.
It would be nice to have a mechanism for saying whether a terminal is required or not.
Perhaps a check box on the new/edit host dialog.

Add option to start ssh socksified

dragao_de — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 11:52:03 -0000

As I mostly have to tunnel my ssh connections I would like to see an option/checkbox or something similar that allows me to start a ssh connection socksified. On the command line the equivilant looks like "tsocks ssh -A user@system.domain"

The following workaround does the thing but a checkbox would be the better and more proper thing

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/sshmenu.rb (fedora-12)
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/sshmenu.rb (fedora-13)

def ssh_command(host)
if host.enable_bcvi
return 'bcvi --wrap-ssh --'
else
return 'tsocks ssh'
end
end

Add button to jump to already opened window

Robert Verspuy / Exa-Omicron — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 13:37:16 -0000

During my workday I have multiple ssh session open to multiple servers. Sometimes even more then 20.
When I need to do something on a specific server, I'm always searching where I left the window for that server.

Maybe it's possible to alter SSHMenu, by adding a small rectangular button in the menu (aligned to the right) on every menu item.
But only, when you already opened a window through sshmenu. This way you can easily see if a window to this ssh server is already open.
And you can choose to open a new window (by clicking on the menu option name) or jump to the already opened window, by clicking on the small rectangular button on the right side of the menu option.

I hope my explanation is a bit clear :)

it would really help me in my 'forest' of ssh windows :)

Make SSH menu a regular menu

Anonymous — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 06:59:14 -0000

The SSH menu in the Gnome panel looks like a button (maybe because it is a button?). It would be nice to have an option for it to look like a regular menu, with no frame around it.
