Forklift SFTP client not Working with SSH keys in shared Vault

Hi, I am using Forklift 4.1.2 and I am trying to abandon Transmit. I have configured the .ssh/config file with all my servers and integrated with 1password. I can use all my servers from the terminal and Transmit, but I don't know why with forklift some servers work and other servers don't work.

Can you help me?

I think it is something related to some keys are in my personal vault and other keys are in a shared vault. But they all work fine in other applications.

Other Apps that work:
* Terminal
* Warp
* Transmit!

1Password Version: 8.10.33
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 14.5

Forklift 4 is not reading the terminal env vars.

If you close forklift, and then open a terminal and type

open -a Forklift

then forklift will open, and will be sharing the env vars from the terminal, and will then work seamlessly with 1Password ssh agent and allow password-less logins over SFTP.

Its a workaround not a fix. This is not a 1Password issue to fix, this is a Forklift application issue to fix.
