I've been playing with mosh and our tools, and proposed this:

https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/pull/854

As I told you before, it would be great for us to get feedback from use cases
like yours, so I would appreciate if you take a look.

In particular, with your snap we are introducing the concepts of classic and
alias. Most snaps won't require them, but mosh is special in many ways :)

I also found a usability bug when trying it, so it has already been very
useful. You will find a note about that in the PR.

Please, let me know what do you think.

pura vida.
