Hi everyone!

I am using Kate happily, and I'd like to ask a question to experts: when I open a file over ssh, the terminal in Kate requires a manual connection. Is it possible to a) have it synced automatically, or b) use the same connection that Kate uses to open the files so that one does not need to insert the password again?

Thank you :)

If someone will find this in the future: adding

    controlmaster auto
    controlpath /tmp/ssh-%r@%h:%p

under the relevant host in ~/.ssh/config reused the connection for direct calls to ssh.
