Description

When a storage account is selected, the Properties view shows a number of useful properties like the Primary and Secondary connection strings used to connect to the storage account.
The connection strings shown are the "longer" version of the connection string. The portal provides a more terse version of the connection string, as in the following:
DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=[account name];AccountKey=[account key];EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net

This version is a little more succinct. Could this version of the connection string be displayed? Unless there's a downside to this.

Research direction

Start in the Properties view for a selected storage account and trace where the Primary and Secondary connection strings are assembled or displayed. Compare the current strings with the terse portal format shown in the issue; done means the Properties view displays that format for both connection strings.
