Hi,
   We normal use ssh-keygen generate private key for ssh login.
The ssh-keygen will by default write keys in an OpenSSH-specific format now.

The first line of OpenSSH-specific format private key file is:

-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

But qterm don't support OpenSSH-specific format private keys for login,
qterm only support the previously-used PEM format private keys.

Although we can get PEM format private keys using the following way:

From man ssh-keygen:

     It is still possible for ssh-keygen to write the previously-used PEM 
format private keys us‐
     ing the -m flag.  This may be used when generating new keys, and existing 
new-format keys
     may be converted using this option in conjunction with the -p (change 
passphrase) flag.

But PEM format is old and no default format now,
so I hope qterm can support OpenSSH-specific format private keys.

Thanks!
