Use .ssh/known_host for tab completion on ssh, scp, sftp

Why not use ~/.ssh/knownhosts for tab completion on ssh, scp, sftp. This way you have easier access to other hosts.

I use the following command:

HOSTLIST=$(echo `cat ~/.ssh/known_hosts | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | sed -e s/,.*//g | uniq | cut -f 1 -d ':' | cut -f 1 -d ']' | cut -d '[' -f2`;)
complete -W "${HOSTLIST}" ssh sftp scp

This worked well for me, although I cleaned it up to match the existing tab completion:

[ -e "${HOME}/.ssh/known_hosts" ] && complete -o "default" -o "nospace" -W "$(echo `cat ~/.ssh/known_hosts | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | sed -e s/,.*//g | uniq | cut -f 1 -d ':' | cut -f 1 -d ']' | cut -d '[' -f2`;)" scp sftp ssh;

Thanks! Nice one. Now using it in my fork.
