Re:SSH hacks – a little sanity for remote workers

That's really smart!
I'd maybe even reverse it, having:
Host my-jump-host
Hostname my-jump-host.mydomain.example
User myuser
Host my-jump-host-*
User myuser
ProxyCommand ssh my-jump-host nc $(echo %h | sed 's/^my-jump-host-//') %p
This way, autocomplete in bash would work. Typing "ssh m<tab>", assuming m* doesn't match anything else, would suggest "ssh my-jump-host" (which I often ssh directly to anyway). Then just add "-myotherhost" so the whole sequence becomes "ssh m<tab><bs>-myotherhost". Not a huge saving but I'm lazy and like autocomplete in the shell.
