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

@rebane2001

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

@agowa338 @rebane2001 you can change the binding!

@draeath @rebane2001
See the other post, that'd be possible if I wasn't a consultant jumping hundreds of systems spread out across different customers. Sometimes even just for a few days or weeks in some projects. In my situation getting upstream to accept changing it would even be easier

Changing the binding on all of them or even just trying to find the ~ key itself is way more annoying than closing and reopening the terminal. Or when it is on a TTY switching to another and "killall -9 ssh".
