Suggestion: Alert when connection closes or times out #17

Sometimes when editing with rmate, I find that the connection closes and it takes me a while to realise what I have saved is not really being saved.

Is there the ability for some kind of alert to tell you the ssh conection has dropped, mind you this will have to be done locally as a rmate or rsub plugin. Correct?

You many want to look into adjusting your ssh server side and client side KeepAlive settings. http://nileshbansal.blogspot.com/2007/02/prevent-timeouts-in-ssh.html

@AJ-Acevedo its an idea, but I got some servers only available behind VPN and unfortunately, sometimes the VPN connection terminate. textmate/rmate should handle that properly.

Hey guys. This issue gets me as well. I'm not sure what the effort would be, but a great option (ideal option?) would be to perhaps use mosh over ssh? I.e. use ssh + some other goodies? http://mosh.mit.edu/ .

@cdaringe Having the connection over mosh is a great idea. Was anyone able to get that working?
