Stupid question: while I dislike the UX of Putty's settings screen, at least it lets me load/save a bunch of hosts with default settings. How do you do that with command like ssh? Do people just remember IP addresses or something, or is there a trick I'm not aware of?

You can edit the ssh/config file to create/define aliases. For each alias, you can configure the host, port, username, etc.

Ahhh, fantastic. Somehow I was never aware of this. Will try it out, thanks!

Isn't it just regular OpenSSH, where you enter settings and aliases for hosts in ~/.ssh/config?
