• Show Completion UI
• • Use this Action to launch the Text Completion user interface.

    Directory Navigation Mode works by silently sending commands to the remote shell prompt, and processing the results.

If these conditions are not met, using this mode could cause undesirable commands or data to be sent to the remote host.
    Please contact technical support if you are having problems using Directory Navigation mode with your remote host or shell.
• Enter Password Mode
• • Use this Action to enter Password Mode. When in Password Mode, TouchTerm will not add any typed or visible terms to the Completions index, ensuring that your passwords are not improperly stored.
