Description

It would be nice to have the ability to hide the connection tabs. Some people (such as myself) coming from Remote Desktop Connection Manager, are use to selecting a connection via the connection tree. In conjunction with using the option "Single Click on opened connection in Connection Tree switches to opened Connection Tab", it would mean that the connection tabs almost become defunct.

This is in relation to the feature request #1096.

Research direction

Start by reading feature request #1096 and the existing option for switching from the connection tree to an opened connection tab. Determine how connection tabs are represented and how hiding them should interact with that option. Done means users can hide the tabs while still selecting and switching connections through the connection tree.
