Support mosh?

Would it be possible to use mosh instead of ssh?

Could elaborate your use case of mosh?

[pvonmoradi]

I use action-upterm to debug the GitHub Action runner over ssh. Due to geographical distance and network overhead, this current ssh-based solution has a high latency.

Mosh is a replacement for interactive SSH terminals. It's more robust and responsive, especially over Wi-Fi, cellular, and long-distance links.

I use upterm all day long for remote pair programming. It is fantastic! However, often times the connection is slow, so when typing (in vim and in the terminal) it is often laggy between keystrokes, which makes typing hard! My understanding is that mosh uses eager updates to avoid this lagginess, so I am interested in this request too. Thanks!

@jeffometer Yeah, I've become interested in mosh after watching this presentation. I don't have experience in development of either of these projects but I don't think supporting something other than ssh would be simple...
