            Bug ID: 461085
           Summary: CR: Please add an option to disable the SSH manager
                    plugin
    Classification: Applications
           Product: konsole
           Version: 22.04.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: sshmanager
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: public at wernig.net
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
***
The new SSH manager plugin interferes in many ways - some of them unexpected
and confusing - with existing SSH shortcuts that users have set up over the
years, as well as with ssh commands executed in the konsole terminal.
On the other hand, the SSH manager plugin does not implement all functionality
that was available without it (eg. via profiles, keyboard shortcuts, ssh
.config file etc.).

I would strongly advocate adding an option to konsole to disable the SSH
manager plugin.

Forcing users to tediously adapt themselves to a new way of handling their SSH
setup, without any benefit, but with numerous shortcomings, is not good
practice. 
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have an existing setup that uses konsole for handling SSH connections

OBSERVED RESULT
SSH manager plugin seemingly parses the command line executed within konsole
and triggers certain actions (or blocks them) if that command appears to be
ssh-related. This breaks existing setups, and there is no way of disabling the
plugin.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should be possible to disable the SSH manager plugin.
