I was testing how well things react when the name of the keyfile that's remembered by the IDE changes. On subsequent reconnect the dialog comes up with password selected as a default. - If I switch to SSH Key File the OK button is greyed out but there is no clue why. Some dialogs have an error area describing why they are not valid. Hmm, just discovered that the area is there but it doesn't always come on. Ah! there's two similar versions of the dialog: AuthenticationType ... doesn't have the area HostProperties does but it doesn't put up the error message for example when it first comes up and the path is wrong. - If the file rename has happenned accidentally the popping up dialog set to password is a bit mystifying. Naturally this is a fallback. However, IMO if it we set to SSH Key file and the abovementioned error was present user would have a better idea of what's wrong. - Correcting the ssh keyfile name was a bit of a challenge. I change the name and I see a completion popup, but Return is ineffective if you keep the focus in the text area. Shouldn't Return work if there's a popup?
