Minimize window when confirmed SSH key usage

Currently, when I try to connect using the Bitwarden ssh-agent, I get the following prompt:


It’s very annoying because the window doesn’t minimize when I click Authorize or Deny.
Please add an option to minimize when clicked.

Same on macOS, an annoying glitch in an otherwise really cool feature!

Agreed. Also, I was surprised to find that I cannot use the keyboard to authorize or deny, at least on Linux. My expected UX is that receive the prompt, and I can press Enter to authorize or ESC to deny.

It’s suboptimal UX to go from hands-on-keyboard in a terminal to needing to use the mouse to click buttons

Yea same here indeed.
You should be able to enter to accept/authorize and then Bitwarden needs to go back in the background so you end up again on the app that was requesting the auth.

I can do it with the keyboard now: enter to deny, the selected default value, or shift+tab to select authorize and then enter.

Here’s the Related GitHub Issue for anyone interested :slight_smile:

@mwdle @VaultSoldier Could you please clarify if this feature request here is actually the same request as Minimize window when confirmed SSH key usage ? (in that case, I would merge both requests)

Yes, you can merge it
