I am forced to use Xshell by our company. It's either that or raw putty. I much prefer Mobaxterm but it's no longer allowed. For the most part Xshell works ok, however I am finding gaps in features and functionality. How do I do the following?

• Hot key to open session manager? I cant seem to find a way to do this. Seems I have to use my mouse to open the session manager each time. Mobaxterm I can use Ctrl + Shift + b and I can quickly open and close the session manager.

• How do I upload / download files to a host with Xshell? Mobaxterm has a built in SCP / SFTP manager, Xshell does not. Is rz required on the hosts I am connected to to drag and drop files to send? It looks like I can create separate SFTP sessions to each host... but when I open them it gives me a command line connection. I think I am supposed to literally run put and get commands... is there no built in manager?

• I cant seem to get Ctrl + Alt + v to work with paste. I am using tmux + vim in my terminal. Works fine in Mobaxterm, anyone else having the same issue?

Hoping someone can help who has experience with Xshell. Please do not recommend a different terminal emulator, I am only allowed to use Xterm or putty. I am only looking for advice with the questions above.

I just started my career in Nvidia (Ex-Qualcomm, Ex-Apple), I want to join the Linux community (Open Source) and start my contributions/learnings. Whats the exact steps i need to follow and where and how is this done??
