Just checking out your terminal and loving it.

I did note however that when you close the port, you clear the window. NOT a good idea.

Example - you're running a real time clock test... screen is filling up and you want to stop the input temporarily to go back into the history to check some output - you can't - as soon as you close the comm port.... the window gets cleared. Perhaps a button to toggle auto scrolling would work "pause scrolling" or similar.

Other than that, great up to now. Nice to see I'm not the only one dissatisfied with the tools out there. I'm running Windows 8.1 incidentally.

I'm agree. This idea in my TODO list now.
Thanks!

Working with your V01 build 201 on Windows 8.1.

I noticed the following :
- When closing a file unsaved changes you get a popup asking whether you want to save y/n.
There is no option to cancel this popup and return
when pushed yes -> save file option with cancel possibility
when pushed no -> closed
when popups closed using [x] button on right top this acts like no
- Save file to ESP also saves to disk
- Save file to disk also "saves it to ESP"
- Can't find how to save settings
- Don't understand the way the "snippets tab" work.

I do have one file which always gets into "timeout errors".
Copy pasting the file into a new file and sending the copied one works OK.
I will check further on what can be the reason.

Good work..

Herman
