Connection search regex

Have you considered allowing a regex-based search for the connection search filter?

Whilst clearly not essential, sometimes I find I want to work with a subset of available connections and their current connection names have no common elements.

This would be SUCH a helpful feature for me. For example, something happens with an application server cluster. I need to access the servers behind that cluster and the load balancer in front of it.

Current state:

  • When I connect to the load balancer, search for lb and connect.
  • When I connect to the application servers, search for cf, and ap, and cms, because those are server names of affected application. These are 3 separate searches
  • If I have too many servers open and I get lost, I have to run that search all over again.

Desired state:

  • Enter a single search for ^(lb|cf|ap|cms), which brings up all the servers I need to access
  • Since I have a filtered list of only the servers I need, I can just click away. That’s it.

Yep, this would be very helpful in cutting down the clutter in the Navigation pane when working on a subset of connections
