Could you provide instructions on how to connect to mosh using Secure Shell?

The changelog seems to indicate that mosh has been available since 0.37 but I'm not clear how to use it. The only place the FAQ mentions mosh is to link to the main Mosh website for more details about a curses app issue.

In the connection dialog, I tried using the free form text entry to enter:
> mosh username@server

But that didn't work for me (I end up with a "Loading NaCl plugin... failed!" error).

Another thread here mentioned that it is an extension in hterm. I'm not sure how to enable hterm extensions in Secure Shell and I'm not seeing anything in the options settings about Mosh.

Any help on how to use Mosh would be appreciated.

Thanks for the really quick response but I feel like I'm missing something obvious here. I'm still using the Secure Shell App (0.39)  right now and not the extension. I'm not seeing anything about mosh or an "oni" button. Is mosh available in 0.39 of the app or is it only available in the extension version?

the app is dead and you need to migrate to the extension.  please see the docs:
