Is there a thread or page where I can find out more about the "nascent SSH integration feature" in 3.5? It sounds like it will do a lot of things that I have or wanted to cobble together myself.
There is a nascent SSH integration feature available for testing. You can try it by setting a profile's command to SSH. The integration lets you export environment variables and copy files to the remote host. If Python 3.7 or later is available on the remote host, various features such as the Jobs status bar and toolbar components will reflect data from the remote rather than the local.
And I also found this one line description in an old thread:
"A better option will be coming in 3.5 in the form of ssh integration which will use openssh and provide a side channel for file transfer without needing to reconnect."
