Processes
New keys are generated with ssh-keygen. ssh interacts with keys via ssh-agent, which needs to have keys registered with it using ssh-add before it can use them.

How-to
To break a dead connection and get back to a local prompt, try [ENTER]~. or (in MATE Terminal, at least) Terminal->Reset.

How-to
- Generating a new SSH key and adding it to the ssh-agent (see also ssh-keygen, ssh-agent)
- Checking for existing SSH keys: note that a key may exist without ssh being able to use it; keys must be registered through ssh-add so that they can be used.
