Lazyssh
lazyssh is a keyboard-driven SSH connection manager and server browser designed for remote host administration. It provides a centralized interface to organize, filter, and launch secure shell sessions to multiple remote servers.
The tool features a fuzzy-search server browser that allows for rapid location of hosts by alias, IP address, or tags. It includes an integrated configuration editor for managing host entries and a session orchestrator that handles proxy jumps, port forwarding, and identity file assignments.
The system further automates connectivity through automatic identity file detection and asynchronous host probing to verify server availability. It supports advanced connection parameters including multiplexing and specific cryptographic algorithms, persisting all state within a configuration file.
