For me you can't beat the combination of Alfred [0] and the SSH workflow [1]. [0] http://alfredapp.com [1] https://github.com/isometry/alfredworkflows/tree/master/net....

You should probably add some install instruction for the workflow, because I have no idea where to start.

Nice job, for me it can't beat a ~/.ssh/config entry though. I wonder why it's not reading ~/.ssh/config btw, should be doable.

They said the purpose of using a .json file was so that your configuration could be synced by dropbox or some other cloud service. I would NOT put my .ssh with all my private keys on dropbox.

You could just make ~/.ssh/config a symlink to your config file in your dropbox folder. No need to put private keys on dropbox.

Yep.

Symlink'ing a ssh config file with Dropbox was the best decision I've made in a long time.

Same config file no matter which PC I am using, and you can always look up the IP/Hostname and which key it uses (don't store keys on dropbox for "critical" systems) through the dropbox web interface.

This is what I'm currently doing.

* Alfred for '>' command * an alias for each server. * Autologin using ssh keys.
