Feedback & support¶

korTTY is developed openly on GitHub: https://github.com/chardonnay/korTTY. Bug reports and feature ideas are both handled as GitHub issues. You need a free GitHub account to open an issue.

Report a bug¶

1. Search for existing reports first at https://github.com/chardonnay/korTTY/issues (include closed issues) — your problem may already be known or even fixed in a newer release.
2. Collect the key facts:
   • The korTTY version — shown in Help > About and in the footer of this manual.
   • Your operating system and version (e.g. macOS 15, Windows 11, Ubuntu 24.04).
   • Exact steps to reproduce the problem, what you expected, and what happened instead.
   • A relevant excerpt from the application log ~/.kortty/kortty.log (see Configuration files) and, for crashes, any crash report your OS produced.
   • A screenshot if the problem is visual.
3. Open the issue at https://github.com/chardonnay/korTTY/issues/new: use a short, specific title (e.g. "SFTP tab freezes when renaming a file on Windows 11"), paste the collected facts into the description, and submit it.
4. Stay reachable — follow-up questions on the issue are common; enable GitHub notifications for it.

Suggest a feature or idea¶

1. Check https://github.com/chardonnay/korTTY/issues for similar suggestions first — add a comment or a 👍 reaction there instead of opening a duplicate.
2. Open a new issue at https://github.com/chardonnay/korTTY/issues/new with a title starting with Feature: (e.g. "Feature: bookmark folders in the connection manager").
3. Describe the use case — what you are trying to accomplish and why the current behavior falls short — rather than only the solution you have in mind. Mockups or examples from other tools are welcome.

Release notes for shipped changes are collected in Release notes.
