ssh alias not readable?

[BazBerger]

When calling my ssh aliases from my config using the following command:
distant launch remoteName
I'm getting the following error returned to me:

Failed to connect to server

Caused by:
    remoteName needs to be resolvable outside of ssh: failed to lookup address information: Try again

I've also tried using the command:
:DistantLaunch remoteName mode=ssh
Within neovim but that is less useful and only returns a "Exited unexpectedly: exit code 1"

Any help on how to proceed from here would be fantastic. If you require any further info please let me know and I'll post it here too
Thanks!

ssh aliases aren't supported yet, as discussed in #63 and #58.

I believe this will become available after chipsenkbeil/distant#193.

I have to ssh via a gateway. Is there a way in distant to stack ssh commands? ie to the gateway and then the remote server?

What I'd try to do is use ssh TCP forwarding to expose a port on my local machine that goes to a port on the final machine that is the ssh server, such as ssh -L 2222:destination.server:22 [email protected]. From there, you can connect via :DistantConnect ssh://127.0.0.1:2222 or distant connect ssh://127.0.0.1:2222.

Hi chipsenkbeil
Thanks for your awesome plugin and effort. I'm using distant-vim for a stable connection and corresponding speed. In my case,l use an ssh alias, which is not supported currently. moreover, must jump by another management server with KeyAlgorithms options to my remote server:

Host jump-s1
HostName intermediate.server
User user@ [email protected]
HostKeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa

The DistantLaunch can't work properly withDistantLaunch jump-s1 with DistantLaunch ssh:jump-s1 or DistantLaunch ssh:user@[email protected]@intermediate.server -o HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -o PubkeyA cceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa, is there any alternative way to connect the remote server? or is it notcompatible with distant nvim?
