omnibox support

[Mike Frysinger]

how do people feel about secure shell integrating with the omnibox ?

specifically, you could start typing "ssh" and then after that you could enter normal connection specs (like root@localhost:1234).  it'd also autocomplete to existing profiles and you could select them instead.

the downsides:

• if you're lazy with omnibox searching and you type "ssh asdf" expecting to do a Google search, that isn't going to work out :).  you need to type out "?ssh asdf", or select from the omnibox drop down to do a google search instead.
  
• i can't figure out a way to have it launch a new window, so all autocompletes will be in a tab.
  
• it doesn't seem to be possible to put omnibox integration behind a flag ... binding to "ssh" is done in the manifest.

i could use "nassh" instead, but i'm thinking the downsides wrt "ssh" google searches maybe isn't so bad.  and no one is going to discover "nassh" :).

here's an example of the UI.  it's autocompleting all my saved profiles that have "root@" in them.

Looks great to me!

I think the case when I want to search for "ssh root" is rare enough and I already know how to solve it because of existing overloading that I guess most people have been exposed to already.

I support it. I have been using the SSH Shortcut extension for this already, though, and find that I don't use it this way often, because it only opens a tab, not an application window. (as you noted).

i found a way to open in a window, and we can make it an option -- enter will open in a tab, but alt+enter would open in a window.
