Support for multiple hosts in ssh config and / or ignore ssh config file.

[mafredri]

Only the first host is picked out of a line with multiple hosts in the ssh config.

For example:

Host test.google.com secret.google.com

Only test.google.com would be visible.

I would also like to order some of my servers in ssh config into sub menus, and to be able to do this you would either need to ignore the ssh config or provide some syntax in ssh config that creates submenus in shuttle.

I have some hosts in my config that I don't access that often or not with the terminal. I'd like to get rid of those.

It's not documented yet, but if you prefix the Host in your .ssh/config with a dot, it will be ignored when building the menu.

Also, you can group menu items in your .ssh/config with a "/".

I acknowledge the other issue you mentioned of having multiple hosts per line, though. I'll have to figure out the best way to handle that.

Might be a dumb question, but: Are there no side-effects when prefixing hosts with a dot?

I have something like this in my config:

Host coolhostname.com
HostName coolhostname.com
Port 50008

Prefixing the Host value with a dot makes ssh root@coolhostname.com not acknowledge that section anymore.

Do I have a fundamentally wrong understanding of the whole SSH config thing?

Ah, thanks, interesting hidden features, however one limitation I can easily think of with the dot prefix is the following:

Host server1 server2
    HostName %h.website.com

Prefixing server1 with a dot would make it ".server1.website.com" which should not work? Or is the dot prefix something part of the ssh_config and does something special?

Update: Realized I could just work around this by adding e.g. ".disabled" in front of server1 :)
