I have four machines to manage here; it just dawned on me today that I could hotkey ssh sessions to all four machines and put the keymap on all machines. I run openbox so how someone else would do it is gonna depend on your window manager - in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml I added this little snippet.
Using certificate logins on all four machines, Super+1 opens a session with my home server - you get the idea.
Code: Select all
<keybind key="W-1">
<action name="Execute">
<command>terminator -e 'ssh -X wizard@192.168.1.100'</command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-2">
<action name="Execute">
<command>terminator -e 'ssh -X wizard@192.168.1.111'</command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-3">
<action name="Execute">
<command>terminator -e 'ssh -X wizard@192.168.1.191'</command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-4">
<action name="Execute">
<command>terminator -e 'ssh -X wizard@192.168.1.201'</command>
</action>
</keybind>
