I have the same issue, but because I'm using multiple SSH keys and I use the IdentityFile option as mentioned in the advanced config (https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh/agent/advanced) to select a specific key to each server, I cannot use the snippet mentioned earlier in this thread because that gives me the error from the openssh agent:


Load key "<mykey>.pub": invalid format

Both the IdentityFile and the IdentityAgent options support environment variables, so I could create a mapping to set the IdentityFile for each host using env vars, and set it to an empty string if connecting over SSH, but with more than 50 entries in my ssh config and a separate key for each host, this makes my profile settings and ssh_config overly complex.

Is there anyone that found a better solution to work around this?
