Have shell completion for kssh work the same as ssh

[grimm26]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
First off, I use zsh.
I would like command completion for kssh work the same as when I use ssh. For instance, when I start typing kssh some.host -i ~/.ssh/ and hit , nothing happens. If I change kssh to ssh then go to the end of the line and hit I get completion for the directories and files under ~/.ssh.

Describe the solution you'd like
Have command completion for kssh work like that of ssh.

I've tried just doing compdef _ssh kssh but that did not help.

If that's the completion you are getting for ssh that completion is
incorrect. Arguments after the host name are executed on the remote
host, so it is meaningless to complete them from local files and
directories.

I beg to differ. The -i option is to reference the private key on the client side that you need to authenticate to the server. To complete against local files is proper.

You cannot specify arguments to ssh after the hostname.

man ssh

is your friend.

Use kssh -i whatever

and it will work fine. And I suggest you go open a bug report against
whoever maintains the completions for whatever shell you are using.

and my completions work fine for ssh, but not for kssh. Hence me opening the issue here.

Then report the bug to ssh since the way it parses its command line is
in contravention to its own documentation.
