What feature you'd like to see or proposal(期望什么新功能/特性或者建议)

Problem
When my internet connection drops or when I put my laptop to sleep mode, all active SSH sessions in Electerm disconnect (which is normal). At the moment, I have to go through each tab/pane and manually refresh/reconnect (using the per-tab refresh shortcut) to get back to where I was.

Feature request (preferred): Auto-reconnect
Could you add an auto-reconnect option for SSH sessions, ideally with a configurable retry behavior (retry every X seconds, max retries? Maybe with a clear visual saying "reconnecting"?) and don't retry if there is a failure (for example authentication failure) to avoid spamming the server.

Fallback request: “Reload all”
If auto-reconnect is not feasible, a single “Reload all” action would be very helpful:

Shortcut to "reload all" in addition to the current "reload current tab" shortcut
Applies to all open SSH tabs

Thank you very much for your quick release @zxdong262 !

In the newly released version I noticed that the bookmarking editing sub tabs (Auth, Settings, Quick commands...etc.) are not there anymore. Is this intended? Where can I find them now?

How it is in the new release:
