Ability to specify which key to use (otherwise: Too many authentication failures)

Hello,

I'm constantly bumping into issues with ssh keys because I have several 1password accounts for several different organizations which puts my ssh key count too high to login to anything. I could have a long and complex .ssh/config file to define the keys, but what would work better for me is this ability:

1password create a sock per account. Instead of "~/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/agent.sock" use "~/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/-agent.sock"

This way I can define a different sock for different hosts and immediately break this up by account which would help a lot.

Another thing that would be handy is the ability to disable a key. Sometimes I want to store a key in 1password but that doesn't mean I want the agent to try it for every login. Give me a button in 1password to disable ssh agent for this specific key. Right now I've resorted to removing the key and attaching the keys as a file, but it's ugly.

Thanks,
schu
