Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the terminal pane's right-click menu and the existing pane-close or reconnect behavior; done means the selected pane can be restarted from that menu for the SSH/tmux failure scenario described.

Describe the solution you'd like?

I would like to be able to reset a terminal pane using the right click mouse menu.

Thanks!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Sometimes when connecting via SSH to a tmux session the remote connection is broken and the pane becomes unresponsive (is it a bug? it happens in iTerm as well), and the solution is to close the unresponsive pane, and reconnect (and attach) from a new pane. A restart button would help.
