Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
So Basically if we have an existing machine saved with an IP, we can connect it anytime because we already have the password saved.

Now, In my case what happens is that I use EC2 instances and it gets shut down after my work is done.
The next day When I come and get a new IP address for the same credentials, I need to edit before login everytime with new IP and this became so frustrating because we have shortcuts like ctrl + M and have an habit of quick connect.

Describe the solution you'd like
Need a way so whenever we are trying to quick connect, give a way to user connect with IP in clipboard without going edit config+save+againreconnect flow.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Well, I am not a developer in your technology so can't give a pull request but a high level solution,
If we are quick connecting, if IP in clipboard, show additional hint or link/button in dropdown to connect using clipboard.
Whenever we disconnect, we can ask user if he/she wants to save new IP configuration.
U can have this flow as your way. just a suggestion if this makes sense, but I think this is a needed feature because its common to have new IP now.

Additional context
Aaah, Can't repeate again... but please have a look and make changes ASAP. thanks in advance guys you are awesome as always !!

Thx for the advice.

Actually I have a plan like the picture above for a long time. What stopping me is that I've not found a snappy approach to enter username & password for the quick connect.

OTOH, It will break the sessions control logic based on database id if we import quick connect.

I believe we can give an option

Enable this option only in case the clipboard has a valid IP address. After clicking on the menu, connect the user.
At least it will stop a few frustrating clicks.
OR
You can provide another shortcut that will open an IP/server address input, next could be user Combobox with searching, select existing config and boom, u can connect to new IP without bothering existing one

Sounds awful IMO.

Perhaps better way would be for PRM to popup for missing information. So if you enter password and leave hostname empty you can just ctrl v when you start that connection. This is IMO better as one can also use it for changing username and password.

I haven't made my decision yet.

For now I have to concentrate on turning PRemoteM to 1Remote, new features would not be added.
