Reload with Ctrl+R - sshs reads the configuration files again and updates the host list. A restart is not necessary.
Pick your palette with --color - the value is a Tailwind palette name, for example blue, green, or rose.
Keep your order with --no-sort - sshs shows the hosts in configuration file order.
Sort by match score with --sort-fancy - the best fuzzy match comes first (#140).
Select text in your terminal - sshs does not capture the mouse any more.
See the real destination - sshs expands the %h and %n tokens in the destination column.

Each word must match - sshs divides the query at spaces. A host appears only when all the words match.
Wider match scope - the fuzzy score includes the name, the aliases, and the destination.
Stable selection - when the query changes, the selection returns to the top match.

Quoted values keep their # characters, and sshs removes the surrounding quotes.
Match block entries do not leak into the previous host.
Relative Include paths in the system file resolve against /etc/ssh.
Include recursion stops at a safe depth and does not overflow the stack.
Alias merging is blocked only when HostName depends on %h or %n (#153).
Parser errors show the offending line. A missing configuration file gives a clear error.
A Host entry with no patterns does not cause a crash.
