Features

• Multi-port tabs — open many COM ports at once, each with its own buffer, settings, and command history.
• Three views — ASCII, Hex (16-byte rows with offset + ASCII gutter, side-by-side in Both mode), with ANSI-escape stripping.
• Send modes — ASCII with selectable line endings (None, \r, \n, \r\n) or raw hex (AA BB 0D 0A). Up/Down recalls history.
• Send macros — named one-shot snippets with optional F1–F12 hotkeys, persisted to disk.
• Lua scripting — write scripts in a Monaco editor and run them against the active tab. API: serial.send / send_text / send_hex, on_recv, log, delay, ui.toast, plus multi-tab tabs.send(id, …) / tabs.on_recv(id, fn).
• Live plot view — match a regex with named capture groups (e.g. Battery at (?<voltage>\d+) mV) and watch values render as a streaming line chart with legend, hover tooltip, pause/resume, and CSV export.
• Regex display filter per tab (hides non-matching lines, preserves the underlying buffer).
• Per-tab logging with native save dialog and an inline preview of recent entries.
• Ctrl+F search with regex toggle and inline highlights.
• Auto-reconnect per tab (with a retry-count indicator on the tab strip).
• Connection settings — baud 300–921600, data bits 5/6/7/8, stop 1/2, parity None/Even/Odd, flow None/Software/Hardware, DTR/RTS toggles.
• Optional session restore — remember open tabs across restarts.

Persistence

Macros, scripts, and settings live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\rustcom\ (Windows). The app opens to a blank slate each launch unless session restore is enabled.
