[I-19] SSH key priority option?
I currently have 2 personal SSH keys, one RSA and one Ed25519 and am in the process of moving from the RSA key to the Ed key. Previously, I used to have the Ed key defined first in the ssh config via...
SSH by default uses the keys in the order specified. I could go and mark which key to use for each host, but it would be far more convenient to have them apply globally apart from a few exceptions.
Specifying the order to try keys in would be a small quality of life feature. It could be used to demote a key to be a fallback that's used only when necessary and to just optimize the authentication speed to not waste time trying less frequently used keys.
