So I'd like to say something like: use whatever key fits. So either I'd need to give start ssh like this:

So I'd like to say something like: use whatever key fits. So either I'd need to give start ssh like this:
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa1 -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa2 -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa3 -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa4 ...
which is bothersome or, the natural way would seem like saying:
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa
respectively by using the default identity file:
ssh ...
which would use whatever key in id_rsa that works with the public key on the server.
