- in the quick connect dialog, allow me to enter
server1,server2,server3,server4
then spawn connections to all 4
I would use this frequently.
- particularly in the quick connect dialog, allow me to "position" the dropdown setting on credentials by typing. Right now it ignores keyboard input, but positioning to the credential selection by typing 1 or more characters would be an excellent convenience. Supporting more than just the 1st character typed is quite an important nuance. This function should actually be implemented in all drop downs but this is the important one.
- Bug, haven't seen this one mentioned - my vRD seems to have gotten into a mode where the "Connect" button is selected by default when I open the quick-connect dialog. Normally, I open the dialog, type a server name, and hit enter. Since "connect' is now selected by default, when I start to type in a name, the input isn't recognized, and upon typing a 'c' character, it triggers a connect to whatever was previously in the computer field. It's interesting that despite connect being selected, the text in the computer field is highlighted
- Bug, and I am sure this has been mentioned, but when I "reconnect" a server, the window mode changes from tabbed to undocked. A reconnect should retain the window mode.

I should clarify that the behaviour here should be that any time that dialog is activated (including if you hit the toolbar button when the dialog is alread open but hidden), the focus should be placed in the computer field. It's reasonable to expect that someone is statistically most likely to want to type a new hostname as their first action for this dialog.
