Hi Timothy

There is another older SSH Key manager which uses the name skm

I wonder if it wouldn't be better to rename your project so it doesn't clash. Even sskm or mks or something similar?

Wow! That's embarrassing! I take a look at that project, a LAMP project, and manages SSH keys via B/S mode. Theoretically, that SKM is different from this SKM despite they have the same name.

And for a CLI program, skm is short and efficient for typing, it's a perfect name.

If I decide to rename this project, I need some time to pick up a new name which is suitable for this project and efficient for typing...

I wouldn't be embarrassed; there's even another skm project on GitHub (written in Ruby - it also manages SSH keys ;-) ). I thought of ksm (matches Same Page Merging - http://searchservervirtualization.techtarget.com/definition/KSM-kernel-samepage-merging but not a program) ssm (matches https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/storage_administration_guide/ch-ssm) and a few others.

Maybe it's enough to rename the project but keep the binary name? (Secure Key Multichooser)
