SecureCRT

To enable new windows to open as tabs by default

  • Edit the global.ini file
    • Modify line to read: “Single Instance”=00000001
    • Save
    • Reopen SecureCRT

Windows

  • regedit
    • Navigate to:
      Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\telnet\shell\open\command
      • Change Default to:
        "C:\Program Files\VanDyke Software\Clients\SecureCRT.exe" /T %1" /F

Mac / Apple

  1. Install Python3
    1. Open a terminal window and type
      python3

      for a popup window asking you install the modules for Python3.

  2. nano /Users/userName/Library/Application Support/VanDyke/SecureCRT/Config/Global.ini

    where userName is your current profile name.

  3. Download the macOS-SetSecureCRTDefaultURLHandler.py.txt file.
    1. MD5 (macOS-SetSecureCRTDefaultURLHandler.py.txt) = 29fad02edd7d35972493a7877e6b683e
    2. Rename the file to remove the .txt extension
      1. mv macOS-SetSecureCRTDefaultURLHandler.py.txt macOS-SetSecureCRTDefaultURLHandler.py
    3. Set the file to executable
      1. chmod +x macOS-SetSecureCRTDefaultURLHandler.py
  4. Run Python3
    1. python3
    2. ./macOS-SetSecureCRTDefaultURLHandler.py --register
      1. I did not have to reboot, but your mileage may vary.
