@darius oh strange issue :/
I've been considering just using Win's SSH & OpenSSH very recently (because it's apparently less of an issue if you use ssh private keys + some apps like Github Desktop)... I tested using ConEmu's tasks to start preconfigured SSH sessions... but then I had some weird display bugs in nano after resizing a window, and decided to stick to Putty(/Kitty) for now. Mh.
