I have a few suggestions to make using SmarTTY easier (at least for me). All of these should be available as options, if not a default action.
1) Allow forcing all new sessions to start at a fixed size (in my case 80×24) instead of the size of the last open window.
2) When clicking the icon (pinned to the taskbar, but probably everywhere) optionally open a new window rather than focus the existing window. (currently you need to right click and select StartTTY to get another window).
Here are a few things I consider bugs that could be fixed:
1) Trying to copy text from near the bottom or top of the minimalist view is nearly impossible as the menu or tab appears and moves the text you are targeting. Going after that moved text closes the menu/tabs, moving the text again. Catch-22. I personally prefer separate windows anyway, so I’d suggest allowing disabling tabs completely.
2) I use clusterssh extensively from a remote jumpbox, but I often accidentally close my SmarTTY window, or the main CSSH window. This leaves all the child windows open, but they no longer respond to input or the X to close them. You wind up having to force close Ming, and use Task Manager to kill SmarTTY. Perhaps you could find a way to handle this case more gracefully?
