# What Tabby is and isn't
* **Tabby is** an alternative to Windows' standard terminal (conhost), PowerShell ISE, PuTTY or iTerm
* **Tabby is not** a new shell or a MinGW or Cygwin replacement. Neither is it lightweight - if RAM usage is of importance, consider [Conemu](https://conemu.github.io) or [Alacritty](https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty)
# Terminal features
* A V220 terminal + various extensions
* Multiple nested split panes
* Tabs on any side of the window
* Optional dockable window with a global spawn hotkey ("Quake console")
* Progress detection
* Notification on process completion
* Bracketed paste, multiline paste warnings
* Font ligatures
* Custom shell profiles
* Optional RMB paste and copy-on select (PuTTY style)
# SSH Client
* SSH2 client with a connection manager
* X11 and port forwarding
* Automatic jump host management
* Agent forwarding (incl. Pageant and Windows native OpenSSH Agent)
* Login scripts
# Serial Terminal
* Saved connections
* Readline input support
* Optional hex byte-by-byte input and hexdump output
* Newline conversion
* Automatic reconnection
# Portable
Tabby will run as a portable app on Windows, if you create a `data` folder in the same location where `Tabby.exe` lives.
