Description

As the title says, this would be nice to know. I frequently mistype a certain key's name. :-)

Research direction

Start by locating Blink's SSH handling for the `-i ` option and reproduce the behavior with a nonexistent key path. The work is done when a missing identity file produces a clear warning without preventing the command from handling valid keys normally.
