It would be really nice if we could specify what type of key to generate. Not all programs allow a DSA key so having the option to generate a RSA key would be great! Thanks.

Hi, any possibility of this being addressed? OpenSSH 7.0 disables ssh-dss keys by default now. https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2015-08-13-openssh-weak-keys.html

@hulu1522 @leonardteo going to work on tackling this very soon.

Alternatively, if someone has some time to work on a PR for this in the meantime I'd be very happy to help review it and publish a release.
