Proxy choice
When working with bastion server, it could be boring to always ssh this one then to jump to reach the host we really want to connect to.
A solution could be to open a permanent connection to the bastion with a dynamic port forward that acts like a proxy socks. Then configure your sessions to connect to real destination host throught this proxy (in Connection/Proxy panel of the configuration box).
In order to make easier the connections, there is now an option for selecting a proxy to use directly from the main window of the configuration box:
The proxy choice feature is disabled by default. The option can be activated by adding these two lines to the kitty.ini file.
kitty.ini file
[ConfigBox]
proxyselection=yes
Proxies definitions are located in a new KiTTY configuration key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\9bis.com\KiTTY\Proxies].
Below, is a configuration file to create a new proxy définition (Proxy One [7070]), that point to a socks4 server started on localhost (127.0.0.1) and listening on port 7070 (00001b9e in hexa):
