Expected Behavior

Here is the ssh config:

Host 192.168.1.205:6022
  HostName 192.168.1.205
  Port 6022
  User user1

Host 192.168.1.205
  HostName 192.168.1.205
  Port 22
  User user2

When I click the connection button of 192.168.1.205:6022, it connects 192.168.1.205 with user2 instead of user1. What I execpted is connecting with ssh -p 6022 [email protected] when I click the button of 192.168.1.205:6022, and connecting with ssh -p 22 [email protected] when I click the button of 192.168.1.205:22

Steps To Reproduce

1. add 2 configuration for different user on different port for same host
2. connect with any configuration
3. error happends

The reason it works this way, differently than ssh itself, is that people kept filing issues expecting ip:port to work the same as ssh -p port ip, not to use an ssh config with that name. We can probably do better on the extension side when you selected that host from your ssh config, but for now I recommend using a different Host name
