"I alway have at least one term open and can type ssh user@place faster than selecting clicky clicky buttons. Is there an advantage to using this beyond having the machine remember your remote addresses in a list?"
I was wondering about the same thing.
You can simplify the "ssh user@place" even further:
- you can specify the default user for specific hosts in your .ssh/config file, so now you only have to type "ssh place"
- also, you can enable tab completion for host names (you have to configure ssh not to encrypt host names saved to .ssh/known_hosts) and then the command becomes something like "ssh pl<tab>"
I was not aware of the possibility to use terminal profiles to connect to ssh servers, that sounds like an interesting option. It happens quite often that I open a new tab and then connect to the same server, but then quite often I would open a new tab for something totally different, so not sure, I'll have to use it for a while.
