Excessive SSH Key Requests

I really like the SSH key feature. Since some of my apps will try to make github connections using my SSH key in the background even when I'm not actively in front of my computer, I am frequently encountering the very frustrating problem of having to dismiss dozens of dialogs asking to allow for SSH key access when I return.

It is very likely that I would stop using this feature if this isn't addressed somehow.

Thanks!

@tonkku107 @Panzer1119 We've made some improvements for Linux, which will most likely also improve prompting frequency in Dolphin, and a fix for Git on Windows. Those updates be in next week's beta, but they're already available today on the nightly/edge channel. Let me know if that improves things for you!

Yes it works, it asks once (e.g. Git pull in JetBrains IDE) and then (as far as i have tested it) not again while the application is unlocked.

@floris_1P I am still getting excessive prompts from Dolphin in 8.9.0-1

@tonkku107 In that case it would be very helpful if you could provide us with your SSH agent diagnostics, as described here.

I have the same problem with PyCharm

Is it possible to provide an option to share the approval between different apps? I don't want to re-approve when I switch between IDEs. This is annoying to me.

Hi @kfstorm:

Great feedback. There currently isn't any way of doing this, but I could see how it would be handy, so I'll share your thoughts with the team.
