As a user I may look at this:

And assume that there is no way to use my local SSH tools with Coder.

Ignore the inconsistent styling. And we'll want to fiddle with the layout.

I like @ketang suggestion but I would move the code into a popover like this:

So we can keep consistency in the Access elements having only buttons. Thoughts?

Looks great @BrunoQuaresma!

I think we could make it SSH instead, but that seems reasonable to me. Maybe a CTA to install the Coder CLI too? It might be nice to have a link to set up VS Code Remote SSH as well.

  • Only SSH makes the button very small 😕 this is the reason I used "Connect with"
  • Not sure about the Coder CLI, it sounds like something more "global" than "agent related"
  • I liked the idea of having a link for the VS Code Remote SSH guide

I'm good with "Connect with SSH" in that case!

It's certainly more global, but maybe a link to install? I'd hate to provide the coder ssh <name> command line without a link to installing the CLI itself.

@kylecarbs we can add a link to "Install Coder CLI".

Makes sense to me!

I actually think SSH is better. Yes, it's small but this is also boilerplate that's in every workspace. 99% of the time it's just noise to the user.

@BrunoQuaresma should we assign you on this one? Seems like you're tackling it.
