Tab Splitting

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi. Super Putty is excellent to support tab. And could it further support split 
tab(both horizontal and vertical, can freely adjust width/height) like that in 
Notepad++ (refer to attached screencap)?

I and many of my colleagues would open multiple Putty Session at the same 
time(monitor and use different consoles at same time). Although in current 
SuperPutty, I can double click the tab header to resize and control separate 
putty session, the feeling is very unstable. In location aspect, it's randomly 
floating on my monitor. In control aspect, sometimes it need many mouse click 
to focus on a particular session successfully.
I wish they can be still "fixed" within SuperPutty itself.

You should be able to achieve the same view by dragging the document tab and 
docking it to the right side of the document area.

Just drag the document tab down towards the center of the SuperPuTTY window 
then a visual 5-way docking guide will show up.  Drag the tab towards the right 
most glyph and it will show a preview of the document splitting the area.  
Release and the document will be docked vertically like in your attached 
picture.  You can adjust the sizes.

See this example screenshot:

Let me know if this does the trick or if I've misunderstood your question.

Yes, for floating windows, there a few bugs with focus.

Dear friends,

Thanks for your prompt reply!
Yes, that's what I want. Thanks so much. By the way, this feature seems
does not work if option "always on top" is chosen. Nonetheless, I seldom
use "always on top" so that's fine.

Besides, each time when I open super Putty, the session box and layout box
is opened at the right hand side. In order to get maximized width for my
putty console, I need to unpin and hide the 2 boxes manually. Is there way
to auto hide them *always*?

Oh yeah, when always on top is set, the docking guide is drawn below 
SuperPuTTY.  

The sessions/layouts should reopen how you left them.  Can you confirm you have 
"<AutoRestore>" set as default?  That should make SP restore putty sessions and 
tool windows in the previous locations.  The layout is saved when SP is closed 
cleanly.  So verify you have the <AutoRestore> set to default, 
position/configure the windows then close and reopen SP.  If all is well, it'll 
come back as you left it.  If not, look for your log file in 
%TEMP%/SuperPuTTY.*.log for any errors.
