Session Manager

Overview

Indigo supports a Session Manager widget tool that allows you to create and manage all your terminal sessions.
The Session Manager widget provides a tree-based hierarchy where you can group terminal sessions into multiple nested folders for better organization.

(Hovering the mouse cursor over a session instance will display some session configuration information in a tooltip.)

Tip
