Feature Request: SSH Remote Session Support

[Hong-Xiang]

Description of the new feature

I'd like to propose a feature that complements the existing local session management, similar in spirit to WSL integration but focused on remote workflows via SSH.

Key Scenarios

SSH Host Configuration / Discovery

• Allow users to configure SSH hosts directly
• Or automatically discover hosts from ~/.ssh/config

Remote Session Visibility

• List and manage agent CLI sessions running on remote machines
• Ideally include session state (e.g., running, idle, stopped)

Remote Session Resume

• Support resuming historical sessions from remote machines
• Resume sessions inside a pane with an active SSH shell (mirroring local UX)

tmux Integration (Highly Valuable)

• Optional integration with tmux for session persistence
• Resume sessions inside tmux automatically
• For sessions already running in tmux but not attached:
• Optionally support tmux -CC-style attachment / focus experience

Why This Matters

• Many developer workflows are hybrid (local + remote cloud / GPU / build machines)
• Current session management is powerful locally, but remote parity unlocks much higher productivity
• tmux-backed workflows are already common—native integration would reduce friction significantly

Summary

This feature would unify local and remote session management into a single mental model, making the terminal significantly more powerful for modern distributed development workflows.

There was already such a feature request under WSL issue #200 's comment .
