Description of problem: You can opt to use an SSH key as authentication for a new host, if you change the selection from Password to SSH Public Key, you get to see a 3 line text box, which you can then use to scroll through the 15 line SSH key if you so desire. There's more space at the bottom of the dialog, so the SSH key could have a bit more space. Additional info:

I don't see the free space that you refer to. This space is being used when you expend the advanced parameters option. Eldan, any comments or requests for improvement? fmpov it looks alright and i intent to close as WONTFIX, unless you have specific suggestion for improvement
Created attachment 943389 [details] Everything expanded There are other examples throughout the UI of adding in options and elements when needed, such as checking the Use External Providers checkbox earlier in that dialog. With everything expanded on the New Host dialog, there's still some room at the bottom. You hide the SSH key box until the radio button is selected, perhaps when the box appears, it simply has an additional 2 or 3 lines worth of vertical space. It would have to push the Advanced Parameters down a bit, but there's room to do so, and it would be easier to scan the SSH key.
The purpose of the field is to be able to: 1. Click the field 2. Select all - (the key strings) 3. Copy the hash to another place. If this is the case, adding 3-4 more lines won't help to do the job better. But adding a small button: "copy" will help. It is something that is done in many applications and it is very useful.
If that's the purpose of displaying it, it would definitely be nice to have a Copy button and streamline that process a bit.
