If it works before using this then you don't need this :), this is mostly if it doesn't work. Perhaps some of the quotes got messed up. Also, this completion only completes host from ~/.ssh/config - not /etc/hosts ssh space then tab should work.

However before I use this command it does work. NB. the quotes are wrong for c/p because they're fancy unicode. This doesn’t work for me. it doesn’t do anything when I press tab.
