Pin Servers to Top of List

I may be unusual, but I have literally hundreds of saved servers, but they are not all equal, there are a very small handful that I connect to multiple times a day just about every day. It would be so handy if when I hit cmd+n to get a new window those servers were pinned to the top of the list so I could just click on them. At the moment I'm hacking my own solution by pre-fixing the names with the emoji, but a real pinning option would be much better!

Change Order of Hosts in list

I'd love to be able to change the order of known hosts listed in Core Shell. Some of them I use more frequently than others and yes, I could add a number at the beginning of each name to force their order as needed but I would much prefer to be able to drag them into the order I want, please.

Does Core Shell support manual sorting on list?

In the case of managing multiple hosts, the default sorting is not very friendly, can you add the function of manual sorting?

Notification

Notification is disabled by default, you can turn it on in "Connection" tab of host settings panel.

Core Tunnel displays a notification in Notification Center on connection status has changed.

Notifications of tunnel events

It would be super nice if I could get a notification on tunnel connect, tunnel disconnect and tunnel error/failure. Maybe even with an option to turn notifications on/off on a single tunnel.

Support for ssh_config Include Statement

hi, it would be great if CoreTunnel would support/respect the Include directive from ssh_config. As an alternative, it would help to include more than one ssh_config in the settings of CT. Include Include the specified configuration file(s). Multiple pathnames may be specified and each pathname may contain glob(3) wildcards and, for user configurations, shell-like “~” references to user home directories. Files without absolute paths are assumed to be in ~/.ssh if included in a user confi…
