Adding new terminal application integration (mosh) #17

It would be really cool if hosts could be reached by mosh besides bare ssh. It can be found on Github too.

I am aware of the fact that this can be done ATM too by adding connections as applications instead of hosts, just created this ticket to ask if you'd ever plan to add this option to your great piece of Gnome extension :)

Hi Gergely,

I saw your request and is probably much easier to modify the code to include mosh between protocols. I don't know much about the software mosh, but it seems a replacement for ssh, rather than a terminal.

I then added the protocol mosh in the configuration panel with ssh and telnet. As you know better than I mosh, I ask you to do a check in your installation to see if the change meets your requirements.

The only file to edit is the file connmgr.py (located in $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/connectionmanager@ciancio.net/) at line 674 (check if the line is right) with the following change:

the instruction: protocol = ['ssh', 'telnet']

should be replaced with: protocol = ['ssh', 'telnet', 'mosh']

At this point you can set up connections using the protocol mosh (which obviously must be installed on the machine).

Waiting for your feedback before updating CM extension.

Thanks, Stefano
