SSH-tools: Making SSH more convenient

One thing I wish ssh would make easier is terminfo. I have moved from using xterm as my daily terminal emulator to kitty. The only complaint I have is when I ssh around, I need to copy the terminfo to the remote system (kitty does not use TERM=&quot;xterm-256color&quot; because it is not 100% compatible).<p>Kitty does have a ssh wrapper which can copy the terminfo for me, but I rarely remember to use it. And it doesn&#x27;t work for every scenario. Honestly, I wish that it was more common &#x2F; feasible to probe terminals for capabilities instead of relying on an env var &amp; terminfo files.<p>So while I wait for the kitty terminfo to be in the database by default on most systems, I often override TERM to xterm-256color.

I&#x27;d love to see a replacement for PuTTY. The &#x27;90 shareware vibe for handling the saved sites or for setting the password&#x2F;key options ruins my mood every time I have to use it (often enough). Ironically, all the few others I saw try their best to copy its look and feel...

Learning a little vim (i.e. how to open multiple buffers and tabbing between them) as well as learning a little tmux and a little htop has made my experience with ssh way more palatable.

SSH question for people.<p>A few years ago I learned how to suspend an ssh terminal connection (like ctrl-z for a regular app). I forgot how to do that or even how I would look it up.<p>Anyone know?

Anyone knows a way to use vault cert auth with proxycommand or something like that? To use it transparently with emacs and other tools.

Packages for many distros, some I have never heard of. But not for Fedora?

Looks very handy. Thanks for these tools!
