did you know that SSH has a little-known secret menu?

i wrote a post about this on cohost a while back, but since that site shut down i'm posting it here too

Yes, but did you know that it is basically inaccessible on Keyboard layouts like e.g. de-DE?

@agowa338 @rebane2001 you can whine about it or you can read the manual and add EscapeChar to your ssh config to set it to any other character.

I could do that If I'd only connect from one device to a hand full of other devices. But that just doesn't work when you're doing work for customers.

Configuring that would be even harder than getting the key combination changed within the OpenSSH source code for everyone...
