SSH Config Language

Provides highlighting and snippets for ~/.ssh/config and /etc/ssh/sshd_config files.

Installation

This package is available via Package Control. You can install it by searching for SSH in the "Install Package" interface or by cloning this repository in your Sublime Text "Packages" directory.

Snippets and Completions

If you do not see on-demand autocomplete, check for an auto_complete_selector line in your Syntax-specific Settings file. If it says text.ssh_config, remove the whole line. If one does not exist, you can try adding

{
    "auto_complete_selector": "source.ssh_config, source.sshd_config"
}

SSH Config

• host: create a new Host entry
• match: create a new Match entry
• Keyword completion for many *Nix and *BSD options
• Symbol Index for hosts and aliases (Ctrl+R or Cmd+R)

SSHD Config

• Keyword completion for many *Nix and *BSD options
• Symbol Index for active and commented-out config options (Ctrl+R or Cmd+R)

Commands

• Open SSH Config File
• Open SSHD Config File

If these open the wrong file for you, make a SSH Config.sublime-settings file in your Packages/User folder, and put in content like this:

{
    "file_locations": {
        "ssh_config": "~/.ssh/config",
        "sshd_config": "/etc/ssh/sshd_config",
        "known_hosts": "~/.ssh/known_hosts",
        "authorized_keys": "~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
    }
}

Extras

• authorized_keys and known_hosts also have
  • Syntax highlighting
  • Symbol index
  • (unmapped) "Open file" commands
• Completion and highlighting for crypto stuff
  • Key types
  • KEX algorithms
  • Encryption ciphers
  • MACs

To-Do

• Better highlighting for paths
