Session Manager¶
Default key: F1 (from within the session manager)
The session manager displays a searchable list of saved telnet and MUD sessions. Sessions are sorted by bookmark status, then most recently connected, then name.
To connect to a system, use the mouse to click the selected entry, or select using keyboard and press return.
Once connected, disconnect using Ctrl + ], which returns to the session manager.

Session Editing¶
Press E or click Edit to open the session editor. The editor allows you to change all session options including host, port, encoding, connection mode, triggers, macros, and more. Press N or click New to create a new session with default settings.
Server type¶
The session editor has a Server Type radio (BBS / MUD) that applies recommended defaults for the connection:
BBS sets Color Palette to vga, iCE Colors on, Raw mode, REPL off, and MCCP Compression to passive. Most BBSs require an 80-column by 25-line terminal.
MUD sets MCCP Compression on, Line mode, REPL on, Color Palette to none, and iCE Colors off. Most MUDs expect a screen width of 100 or 120 columns.
These are starting points – all fields remain editable after selection.
