Idea: Make SK SSH Agent remember Keys #3

Hello, Sorry for submitting this as an issue but I didn't know where else I could write this. Like the title says I had the idea of SK SSH Agent remembering which keys have been loaded previously so that one would not have to add them manually every time. I know that I could add the paths as startup argument but that is quite uncomfortable too and it would not be startable from task bar. Would be very happy to see this in any further updates even though I'm not sure how frequently maintained this is. Thanks for the agent man, it's the only solution I could find to putty with sk ssh keys. Keep up the great work! Malte

I'm not convinced that the benefits are worth the added complexity.

What I do is create a shortcut in the shell:startup directory and make the target of the shortcut something like "C:\Program Files\SK SSH Agent\SKSshAgent.exe" "C:\Users\carl\.ssh\id_ecdsa". That way, it starts up in the background with the key loaded.

@carlreinke does this method supports loading multiple keys with multiple arguments?

EDIT: It works with multiple args 🥳
