      I doubt this was meant for linux…

      It is. You cant get ssh to print out a nice list afaik.

        Great attempt on making a tool, I think your usecase might not be as appealing to others. If I need to list the hosts I have config for I would use: grep Host ~/.ssh/config If your list of servers is too long to remember, you might want to look at Ansible for configuration. But whatever works for you :)

        I can (and do) just read the ~/ssh/.config file if needed, it’s quite legible. In most cases however zsh autocompletion does all the heavy lifting for me (ssh ser(tab) -> ssh servername).

        Still a cool idea for a script, and if it works well for you more power to you, just saying there’s more ergonomic and universally applicable solutions. (Only mentioning this since you said “I couldn’t find a decent solution to this problem”).

        You have a list of systems you’ve connected to in known_hosts, though. And the config file is easy enough to parse - throwing away the stuff you don’t care about - to expand on that list.

          I could add a import from known_hosts option or something like that

            I assume you mean “lookup”, as import doesn’t really make much sense.

            I’m currently using this with wofi, though I’ll eventually rewrite it as anyrun plugin, which provides a bit more control:

    hosts = []
 
    with open(os.path.expanduser(ssh_config_file)) as f:
        content = f.readlines()
 
    for line in content:
        line = line.lstrip()
        # Ignore wildcards
        if line.startswith('Host ') and not '*' in line:
            for host in line.split()[1:]:
                hosts.append(host)
 
    # Removes duplicate entries
    hosts = sorted(set(hosts))
 
    return hosts
 
def get_known_hosts():
 
    hosts = []
 
    with open(os.path.expanduser(ssh_known_hosts_file)) as f:
        content = f.readlines()
 
    for line in content:
        line = line.lstrip()
        host_entry = line.partition(" ")[0]
        hosts.append(host_entry.partition(",")[0])
 
    # Removes duplicate entries
    hosts = sorted(set(hosts))
 
    return hosts

    return host
