Use cases

You may find the following shell function convenient as it presents the list of available hosts and allow fuzzy search to connect to one. With this function defined (in your .bashrc for instance), you may invoke co if you have no idea and then use fuyy search to find the right server, pass a fuzzy pattern such as co srv123 (it will even allow typos…​), and it will connect directly if there is a single hit to your pattern.

function co() {
    SEARCH=${@:-''};
     if [ $SEARCH ]; then
        hit=$(sshq list | fzf -i -1 --query "$SEARCH" --preview 'sshq search {}')
    else
        hit=$(sshq list | fzf -i -1 --preview 'sshq search {}')
    fi
    echo "Connecting to $hit... you may need to insert your Yubikey..."
    ssh $hit
}
