IBM i Access Client Solutions request

I would like another option under the New tab Action.

Under the New Tab selection I would like to see a system selection option like we have on the main menu.


Use Case:

When I click on New Tab +, I want the drop down list of my systems like I have on the main menu.

This will cut down on our use of telnet between systems.

    There is already a way to accomplish what you're asking. Bring up an emulator session. Edit->Preferences->Tab Setup... For "New Tab Action", select Run Other... Now when you select the New Tab action, you will be presented with a panel showing you sessions which you have previously saved. Double-click the one you want and a new session will start. Does that meet the requirement?
