multi-hops[0] should probably be mentioned as well. Using those one can for example open a file using sudo via ssh: /ssh:you@remotehost|sudo:remotehost:/path Doing any further actions on a file opened that way also applies the hops there as well. For the example above opening a shell or running a shell-command would run those through sudo on the remote host.
