First of all: thank you so much for the app!
Is there a chance to have this working over ssh? User should load keys in the phone, on every configuration be able to pick the key. That would be a nice feature.

Hi,
Thank you for your comments. The truth is that I tried to add support over the SSH but I had problems with it. First, I couldn't cross-compile the openssh for android for any reason, strangely ssh is not a native android app. I spent days trying to compile it but unfortunately didn't happen. The other option was to use dropbear, which I was able to compile and use it but there was another issue with it.

The thing is that when you connect with ssh anywhere for the first time, there is an interactive question that asks you to accept the validity of the host that you connect since it is unknown and therefore untrusted. Normally you can pass -y argument and pass silently that step. But in my case it just didn''t do it. So, after all I decided to drop the support with ssh, I may consider to try again in the future, but currently it is not in my to-do list.

Thanks!
