I use dmenu[1] from suckless.org as a replacement. The following script reads the host names from ~/.ssh/known_hosts, feeds them to dmenu and executes ssh to the host I choose in an xterm: #!/bin/ksh expr="s/^@[a-z-]* //;s/[, ].*//;s/\[//;s/\]//" file=~/.ssh/known_hosts host=$(cat $file | sed "$expr" | sort | uniq | dmenu) [[ -n "$host" ]] && xterm -T "[ssh] $host" -e ssh $host I store the script in ~/bin/sshmenu.sh and add the following line to my ~/.cwmrc: bind-key M-period bin/sshmenu.sh Works like a charm for me. Cheers, Bruno [1] https://suckless.org/dmenu/
