Allow to specify connection parameters #49

Open ariava opened 9 years ago

Hi,

I often use your extension and it would be really nice if it could be possible to specify connection parameters, e.g. the connection port for ssh. Since some of the parameters might be specific to the application used to connect (ssh, mosh, ...) it would be sufficient to let the user specify the parameters in a raw fashion.

Thanks, Arianna

As a workaround, i just append the connections parameters after the ip. For example, if i want to ssh using a custom port the host field will be: "user@host -p custom_port".

This is not a workaround, but it works just as well. Please, read the wiki here : https://github.com/sciancio/connectionmanager2/wiki/CM-Setup

I think the "Host" field should be renamed then. Something like "Command" should work?
