SSH Search Provider

A gnome-shell extension which searches the ssh config and known_hosts file and provides the found ssh connections in your shell overview.

Features

  • it parses the ~/.ssh/config file and searches for the hostnames
  • it parses the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file and reads all hostnames (to use this feature you have to set the ssh setting "HashKnownHosts" to "no")
  • you are able to define a user for the founded hosts in the search term

Examples

Assume the ~/.ssh/config file looks like

Host desktop
User user
HostName 192.168.1.100

Host desktop1
User user
HostName 192.168.1.101

host vserver
User user
Port 2222
HostName 11.11.111.111

and the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file looks like

[11.11.111.111]:2222 ssh-rsa AAAAB...
github.com,207.97.227.239 ssh-rsa AAAAB...
user.webfactional.com,22.22.222.222 ssh-rsa AAAAB...
192.168.1.100 ssh-rsa AAAAB...

Here are some example searches and the search results

Installation

Install the extension directly from the gnome-shell extension webpage: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/73/ssh-search-provider/

or manually

  • copy or link the folder "[email protected]" to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
  • enable extension (e.g. via gnome-tweak-tool)

Selecting Your preferred Terminal Application (only for gnome-shell > 3.4)

If you want to replace 'gnome-terminal' with the name of your preferred terminal app so you have to set it in the gsettings. You can do this with the following command on the terminal:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec <new default editor>

For example if you want to change gnome-terminal with terminator type:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec terminator

Define arguments for your Terminal Application (only for gnome-shell >= 3.8)

If you want to add some arguments for your terminal app you can set this arguments with

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec-arg "<args>"

For example if you want to use terminator in borderless mode type:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec-arg "--borderless"
