Command line

Everything the interface does, the command line does too. In a Linux session without a display, quickssh without arguments doesn't try to open the interface and lists the commands instead.

Only in the interface

Remote desktop (RDP, VNC) tabs, macros and the server status bar need a display, so they exist only in the interface.
