SSH Feature questions

Hi, Just some quick questions about the new SSH feature. I'm assuming that the SSH keys are synced between your machines etc? Is it possible to import existing keys from multiple machine...

I'm really sorry but this is not making any sense to me.

In your documentation, you state:

"On Mac and Linux, add the IdentityAgent to your config file or set the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable."

and

"Add the IdentityAgent snippet to your ~/.ssh/config file:

Host *
IdentityAgent "~/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/agent.sock"

Or set the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable in the shell where your SSH command runs:

export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=~/Library/Group\ Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/agent.sock
"

You explicitly say the word "or" twice. This indicates that the user has to do one OR the other.

If you HAVE to do both then surely the documentation needs to be updated. I run ssh-add -l and it fails to show any keys.

If I am misunderstanding then that's fine, but please ensure your documentation is cleared up and everything clarified to ensure misunderstandings like this don't happen.

Please could you explain again here so I can try to understand.
