Recently discovered wezterm and LOVE it. I'm trying to replace tmux, and more or less have over the past few days with more and more wezterm config.

Working on my home ubuntu workstation, it's perfect. However, at work, I do pretty much everything on an ubuntu dev server (from my fedora workstation). My dotfiles are shared in a repo so I can have the same wezterm configs everywhere.

So the issue is when I use wezterm on my local fedora box, I'm trying to ssh to my dev server, but it uses the local wezterm config. I have keystrokes setup for project switching, but of course it is pulling from my local workstation, not the machine I'm connecting to.

I feel like there must be some way to do this, but I've poured over the discussions and docs and can't quite figure it out.

Is there a way to open a wezterm session to a remote machine and have the wezterm config be loaded from that remote machine's wezterm config?

In my local machine's wezterm.lua and remote machine's wezterm.lua, for example, I have wezterm.log_info('Wezterm Host:', wezterm.hostname()) but it only ever prints my local host name, which hopefully explains what I'm after even if I didn't express the intent very well. If it prints the remote host in the debug tab, I know it's working!
