While in an SSH session, press enter, then type tilde and capital C (enter ~C) and you can add command line options to the current session. To add a port forward from your local 8080 to the remote port 80 without closing the connection, do:

  enter ~C -L 8080:localhost:80

Thanks. This could really benefit from a TUI!

That is a neat trick. Added to the list.

(Ultimately unhelpful though because I use mosh everywhere these days and that doesn't appear to have anything fancy like this.)

Maybe it's just still too early in the morning yet, but what is the significance of hitting enter first?
