Set Session Mode onstartup

I usually use PLSQL Developer in Multi Session Mode. It is more flexible and my system privileges allow for many sessions.

Occasionally, I need to start an instance of PLSQL Developer in "Single Session Mode".

By using Tools/Preferences/Connection/Session Mode, I can set the parameter and then start a new instance. But I have to then switch back to "Multi Session".

Is there a menu or command line option to start a new instance of PLSQL Developer in one session mode or another?

The "SessionMode" command-line parameter allows you to define the session mode: single session, dual session, or multi session. Valid values are SINGLE, DUAL, MULTI or 1, 2, 3. For example:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\PLSQL Developer\plsqldev.exe" SessionMode=DUAL

You can create a shortcut for the Windows Explorer with such a parameter, or create a user-defined tool in PL/SQL Developer itself.
