stll show known hosts after inputting user in find file minibuffer

[maggo007]

Suggestion

helm-find-file is not showing knowns servers as soon as a username is used

Description

When trying to connect to an server via ssh i normally input the following in the minibuffer with helm-find-file /ssh: as soon as I input the colon the server from the ssh known_hosts file and even the ssh config entries are shown. The problem is that as soon as I type and try to connect to a server with a specific username /ssh:user@ there are no known servers shown anymore.

Solutions

When using a specific user to connect it would be nice to show the known hosts again as soon as I input the @.

You can fix this by specifying another host in your ssh config file (~/.ssh/config), something like this:

host foo port 22 user john hostname 192.168.0.12

host bar port 22 user jack hostname 192.168.0.12

Then you can connect with /ssh:foo: or /ssh:bar:

Therefore I will not try to fix this which would be a lot of work for a small benefit.

Thanks.
