Currently, New-PSSession has a parameter set to use -Hostname and -Username to indicate SSHTransport is being used (instead of -ComputerName and -Credential). SSH users are probably more familiar and comfortable with ssh user@hostname, so it seems we should support New-PSSession -Hostname user@hostname (unfortunately, it would be a breaking change to default to -Hostname instead of -Computername to support this as a positional parameter)

   I would rather defer this till the end of the 6.1 release cycle and focus more on actual features that add value tbh.

   Christoph Bergmeister (@bergmeister) this isn't marked for 6.1, although I also don't think it would be difficult to implement (split the string, pass it to the existing parameters...). This came up for me as I was using ssh to a Linux VM and then had to use new-pssession over SSH and was annoyed how easy it was using ssh

   Steve Lee (@SteveL-MSFT) might as well use URI builder instead of split string. It would position us for possible furthe enchantments in the future.

   $Hostname = '[email protected]:8822'
   $Builder = [System.UriBuilder]::New("ssh",$Hostname)
   $Hostname = $Builder.Host
   $Username = $Builder.UserName
   $Port = $Builder.Port
   if ($Builder.Port -eq -1){
       $Port = 22
   }

   The format, after all, is a URI.

   Was investigating a SSH MFA issue and this annoyed me enough to submit a fix
