please make sure ssh:// links can be wired through aminal ssh or mosh client

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It's really powerful to be able to build links to hosts in environment monitoring web apps. These are often of the form ssh://[user@]host.

Describe the solution you'd like

Have a way, preferably done as part of installation on Windows, to set up url handlers for ssh:// that feed through to Aminal such that it opens a new shell in a new tab and ssh's to the host and optional user specified.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Terminal in macOS does this flawlessly out of the box.

Chrome's SSH app does this on Windows, but, annoyingly, specifying the user is mandatory. If unspecified, it should just use the logged in user's username.

To register an application for ssh:// please follow the instructions at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/aa767914 Here is an example for putty (need to specify the correct path) ssh_example.zip For putty, we can't just use putty.exe because it doesn't support a parameter in form of ssh://user@host. So we need to copy putty.bat from here https://gist.github.com/sbiffi/11256316 (it does the parsing and calls correct arguments) putty.bat.zip Note: we need to specify correct path to putty.exe inside putty.bat If we need to get current system user and add it as an argument to putty.exe the right place to do it is in `putty.bat', I suppose

Okay, so two problems spill out from this:

1. getting a decent SSH client that Aminal likes playing with.
2. Having aminal set this stuff up itself, as part of the installer, or better, as something that gets triggered both on install and by menu it somewhere (re-install url handlers).

(2) is bigger, because we probably want to support installing and managing multiple templated url handlers (ssh://, mosh://, etc)

[vadymeng0]

For (1), we're going to use OpenSSH which is de-facto standard and is already provided by Windows. For (2) - it is not a problem to have the installer to maintain an arbitrary number of URL handlers, and reinstall them as part of the "repair installation" feature.

[cjw296]

"repair" doesn't feel like the the right wording here, "url handling configuration" or some variant seems like the right thing, with a "make the windows registry match what I've set up in aminal" button
