No edit option for existing connections #3
Description
Feature Request: Interactive Edit Mode for sshq edit <alias>
Description
Editing an existing SSH entry using sshq edit <alias> should trigger an interactive editing interface rather than requiring manual config file editing.
This ensures consistency with the existing add flow and improves the overall UX.
Current Behavior
Running:
sshq edit fyre
does not currently provide an interactive way to update connection details.
Expected Behavior
Running:
sshq edit fyre
should display a prompt with the existing entry values pre-filled:
Editing connection: fyre
1. Alias: fyre
2. Host: 9.30.96.7
3. User: root
4. Method: password
5. Password: ****
0. Save & Exit
Select a field to edit (0–5):
After updating a field, the menu should return until the user selects Save & Exit.
Benefits
- Consistent UX with the
sshq addworkflow - Eliminates manual config editing and reduces errors
- More intuitive for users who frequently update SSH connection details
Additional Notes
- Sensitive fields (like passwords or private keys) should be masked in the UI.
- (Optional future enhancement): Support arrow-key navigation or TUI mode.
Example Use Case
A user wants to update the IP address or authentication method for an existing SSH profile without deleting and recreating it.
Status
- Type: Enhancement / UX Improvement
- Impact: High (frequent touchpoint for users)
