Manage your SSH keys and saved sessions directly from the Noctalia bar. This plugin keeps a small SSH agent running in the background, lets you add or remove keys, and provides a panel for quick session management. Similar to PuTTY pagaent on Windows.

Opened the panel from bar and using IPC. Added the key using the

New Sessionbutton. Edited the save and then connected.Everything works as intended.
