any chance we'd have this feature soon?

Any update on this? I'm using VSCode to connect to colab instances and have to always select Linux during the startup process. It'd be great if there was a way to set remote.SSH.remotePlatform's item to a wildcard so it would always know it was Linux. Thank you!

Hello, Do you have an update on this feature? We are using the remote SSH extension and it seems VS Code cannot automatically detect the type of server we are connecting to (RHEL). Almost all our support requests come from users that don't notice the select platform drop-down and get stuck because they click somewhere else in VS Code when nothing happens:

[16:21:31.728] getPlatformForHost was canceled
[16:21:31.729] Resolver error: Connecting was cancel

I'm ditto'ing what others want here. I'd like to be able to setup a wildcard for a couple reasons:

  1. I already know certain machines that could match a wildcard will be linux.
  2. I want to stop getting asked when I log into a new server which OS it is.

That would be extremally useful feature.

Would like to see this as well. We've recently started using GitPod, which uses dynamic ssh hostnames, and so I've got about 50 (and ever-growing) gitpod URLs in my user settings 😬

This is also causing causing issues for me.

https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-remote-release is not clear about where the source code for the SSH extension is — is there a public location for the source code that one could send a PR for this?

I feel like this feature would be very useful for people for are using a cluster for work. I am right now using a wildcard to match a prefix and use the same config entry for all of them. I don't know the best way to store a single/several matched entry in the SSH remote explorer but this would be super useful.
