Keyword Highlighting

If keyword highlighting is not enabled for the session, this menu item is disabled. If keyword highlighting is enabled for the session, it can be toggled using this menu item. The state is only remembered until the session is closed.

When you start SecureCRT, the program retrieves your global and session option settings from an initialization file. While you are running SecureCRT, you can make changes to your settings, but these changes will be lost when you close SecureCRT unless you save your changes to the initialization file using the Save Settings Now command and/or the Auto Save Options command.

Auto Save Options

Automatically saves changes that you make in the Global Options dialog or Session Options dialog to the initialization file when you click on the OK button on the dialog.

If this option is off (unchecked), changes made to your global or session options will be lost when you close SecureCRT unless you have saved the settings using the Save Settings Now command.

Note: When the Auto Save Options command is being used by more than one instance of SecureCRT, the settings of the last instance to be closed will be the settings saved to the initialization file.

Save Settings Now

Saves your current global and session option settings to the initialization file. These settings will then be the ones retrieved the next time you start SecureCRT.
