I just came across something that I have always subconsciously missed in my 20 years as a macos Terminal user.
`Shift-Command-K` [0] opens a dialog window, from which you can initiate ssh, sftp, ftp and telnet connections in a new terminal window. You can also keep a list of hosts.
It would be even cooler, if it would parse your .ssh/config for hosts.
