Konsole / SSH Trick

I have three main servers that I ssh into all the time, and it gets very annoying having to open a Konsole window, then type in ssh server.

Here is an easy way to do it a bit faster:

Make yourself a shortcut (desktop, kicker panel, or kicker menu) using this as the command line: konsole -e ssh user@server and instead of opening up a local konsole, it will open up the ssh console.

You can go one step further and do some key swapping, and you won’t even have to type in your ssh password anymore either.

I got a bit fancier and put some options in my shortcuts: konsole --nomenubar --notoolbar --T "Remote SSH" -e ssh user@server
