The Textsmith manual

Inside ssh, tmux and other programs

Bookmarks run at your own shell’s prompt. Inside ssh, tmux or any other program, the shell is not The Textsmith’s, so #@, Alt+Enter and Alt+M do not apply there. The bookmark list does: while a program runs, choosing a bookmark types its command into the program without pressing Enter, so you can hear it and then press Enter yourself. A bookmark that takes arguments is typed with its places (<file>) for you to replace.

Inside ssh forge, a bookmark with a command per machine shows one row per machine (“update, for forge: …”), with the machine you are connected to first. The Textsmith finds it from the ssh that is really running, however you started it (an alias, a bookmark), and matches the name you gave ssh or the host name from your ~/.ssh/config.
