Description

When I started using this extension I expected an auto connect option, where I activate a connection once for a project and then whenever I open a sql file inside the project this connection is auto opened / reused. Is this some possible enhancement for this extension or generally out of scope?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by locating how the extension opens and stores PostgreSQL connections for SQL editors, then determine how a project-scoped connection could be selected and reused. Done means an activated project connection is automatically reused when a SQL file in that project is opened.
