Fish-shell: Fish not considering hosts in ~/.ssh/config

Created on 7 Jul 2017 · 3Comments · Source: fish-shell/fish-shell

Fish version: fish, version 2.6.0
OS: Arch Linux

I have oh-my-fish and a few plugins via it installed but this issue still occurs without them.

My problem is that when typing "ssh" and trying to tab-complete hosts that fish will only consider hosts from ~/.ssh/known_hosts and not my ssh config. My ssh config is a valid syntax, for example:

Host icarus
  User            spacekookie
  HostName        <ip-address-here>
  IdentitiesOnly  yes
  IdentityFile    ~/.ssh/<keyfile-here>
  Port            22

Yet trying to type ssh ic and tab-completing doesn't sugest "icarus" but rather try to auto-complete folders in my current directory. I've seen closed issues about this before that were dated back a few years and apparently it was fixed. And I could swear that fish used to do this. Is it maybe a regression with something in a newer version? Would be nice if you could get this working again.

If you need more information from me, please tell me what to post. Thanks

When can I expect the feature roughly then? 2.7? Or is there gonna be a patch version before then?

Yes, 2.7, which is currently planned for September.

This should already be fixed in the next release via #4104.

If you want it earlier, you can download the new version of the __fish_print_hostname function and store it in your $fish_function_path.

Ah, thanks. I didn't check the pull requests for info before making an issue. When can I expect the feature roughly then? 2.7? Or is there gonna be a patch version before then?
