It happens a lot to me that i am ssh'ed into an external host and then i want to open a new window or tab reusing that same ssh session, so logged in into the external host. Is this something Warp can do or is this something i need to configure in my ssh client?
I think i'm looking for this to be implemented in Warp: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSSH/Cookbook/Multiplexing
I am NOT looking for connection profiles!

Ok, so i figured this out: I have configured multiplexing. The first time i ssh into the remote host using Terminal i have to provide userid and password (obviously). However, when i open a second Terminal window and i ssh into the same host, it reuses the connection i already have. When i do the same using Warp, the existing connection is not reused. So basically i am asking two things: 1. Honor ssh connection multiplexing configuration and 2. Automatically establish the ssh connection from where the new tab or window was opened in the new tab or window.
We use reactions to help gauge interest on issues. I just added a thumbs up.
Check this view out to see what I mean: https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc
We use discussions for product memos or to weight the cons and pros of an approach to a feature that is already planned.
I really hope that this gets more attention on the roadmap. I use SSH session multiplexing for work everyday and the fact that the warp_ssh_helper function doesn't work with it is a big issue. I also opened a Discord thread on this.
