Remove complex quoting from Match exec directive that was causing zsh completion to fail with "unmatched '" error. Changed from: Match host * exec "sh -c 'test -z \"$SSH_CONNECTION\"'" To: Match host * exec "test -z $SSH_CONNECTION" The simpler form works correctly: - SSH_CONNECTION unset → uses 1Password IdentityAgent - SSH_CONNECTION set → skips IdentityAgent, uses forwarded agent And avoids breaking zsh's SSH host completion which parses the config file.
