CNXN-4769: Provide a method to identify and bulk delete unused Execution Groups

In <RC2, it can be difficult to determine if an execution group is used, and if it is used, the number of groups and/or tabs associated with it. This is really only an issue if you have a lot of execution groups, which is something we discourage (as there is overhead associated with each process/execution group). In the past, we’ve seen issues start to crop up when the process count is ~100 on lower-powered machines.

In RC2, group and tab columns have been added to show the number of groups/tabs associated with a specific execution group. These are sortable columns, so you can bring unused execution groups to the top of the grid. A Delete Unused button has also been added. This button will scan for execution groups with zero counts for both group and tab.

Open

Clicking the Delete Unused button will display a prompt listing the execution groups which will be deleted.

CNXN-4770: Add option to lock all channels and unlock all channels in drop down menu when right clicking a tab

This is a fairly obscure operation since it can be done from the Manage Channels dialog. However, it’s also a very minor addition. Note that channels locked by someone else are skipped - you must manually clear those locks.

CNXN-4771: Create Documentation Page for Connexion "Keyboard Navigation"

Eventually we’ll have this as part of the regular documentation, but here is the list as of RC3:

• Ctrl + D: Servers list

• Ctrl + Enter: Lock/Unlock current channel

• Ctrl + G: Groups list

• Ctrl + I: Import Channel(s) Into Tab

• Ctrl + M: Manage Channels

• Ctrl + N: Create New Channel

• Ctrl + R: Rename Tab

• Ctrl + S: Save

• Ctrl + T: Add New Tab

• Ctrl + Tab: "Menu Selector"

• Ctrl + E: Edit current channel (new)

• Ctrl + L: Lock all channels in current tab (new)

• Ctrl + U: Unlock all channels in current tab (new)

• Ctrl + E from the Manage Channels dialog (new) -> Edit currently selected channel

• Ctrl + S from the Edit Channels Dialog (new) -> Commit channel changes

When doing bulk renaming of channels, from either the main window or the Manage Channels dialog, you can use Ctrl + E (edit current channel) and immediately start typing to edit the name. Then Ctrl + S will commit those changes.

More ‘selectivity’ for server connections

There were a few tickets for more ‘selectivity’ for server connections (another grouping level, longer shortname, etc.). There simply isn’t enough screen real-estate for longer ‘short names’. Instead I have added support for color. This color also shows (and can be specified) in the master server list.
