reconnect option #147

Add ability to reconnect on an existing connection.

This option is particularly helpful when the remote computer is set to lock and you have password saved in Terminals. Instead of closing the window and opening again, it would be handy to have this option.

You can simply double-click your favorite to reconnect.

Just to explain OP's use case: When the remote PCs rdp is configured to allow multiple connections from the same account double clicking the terminals connection when you already have an open connection (that is locked) will open a new connection. You will have a new RDP session. In this case you have to close the old session in order to 'reconnect'. This is indeed annoying since in most cases you will run out of 'free' connections (unless you bought additional rdc cals). If the remote rdp is configured to allow a single connection per account then the same action will close the old connection and reopen it in terminals. You will be connected to your old rdp session. But this RDP configuration is rare since it is inconvenient. The 'reconnect' functionality described in the feature request is would have to close the active connection and try to connect again. This request has surfaced multiple times when terminals was on codeplex.

Focus on this as most requested feature after putty integration.
