To run interactive programs remotely one should use ssh -t <host>. But this -t option also has drawbacks so it's not good to use it on non-interactive programs.
My problem is: I have several machines. Some of them are for interactive programs and others for non-interactive ones. So I must remember exactly which ones need -t. Is it possible to add this in ~/.ssh/config so I don't have to remember it?
Basically what I want is this:
Host interactive
HostName example.com
User user
Option "-t"
ssh ssh-config

The option you're looking for is RequestTTY. From the ssh_config man page:
RequestTTY
Specifies whether to request a pseudo-tty for the session. The argument may be one of: `no' (never request a TTY), `yes' (always request a TTY when standard input is a TTY), `force' (always request a TTY) or `auto' (request a TTY when opening a login session). This option mirrors the -t and -T flags for ssh(1).
force is equivalent to -tt, and yes is equivalent to -t
Host interactive
HostName example.com
User user
RequestTTY yes
