Wishlist: MDI for PuTTY

I use PuTTY all the time. It is the best client for SSH. Its easy to use and easy to setup. Amidst all the nice features it has there is one drawback - when I have multiple putty sessions open, there is no one single MDI interface to control them. I have to reply on the Windows grouping of the task bar items in XP and sometimes it is not very convenient. It would really be nice to have one MDI interface for putty and have various tabs for the sessions much like today's text editors with tabs designated for different files open.

While I was looking out for my wish to be fulfilled I found something interesting that might interest you folks - Terminal Window ShortCuts (TWSC). Although this is not a MDI interface for putty sessions, you can still access your putty sessions or create new ones by using a keyboard shortcut. This way you don't have to keep traversing to the task bar and click on the grouped item and choose which session you want to switch to. I liked this feature and the best of this feature - It sorts the list of sessions based on which sessions you access and this sorting is dynamic. Try it out and believe me, it will make your life a little easier than what the WinXP task bar item grouping can provide for maintaining putty sessions.
