Entry Menu Actions Target the Main RDM Window Instead of the Actively Selected External Window
Entry Menu Actions Target the Main RDM Window Instead of the Actively Selected External Window
Issue: Entry menu actions target the main RDM window instead of the active external window.
When a session is open in an external RDM window, selecting Entry > Reconnect reconnects the active tab in the main RDM window instead of the session selected in the external window.
Using the Connect button directly from the external window works as expected.
The issue appears to affect multiple actions within the Entry menu. These actions seem to target the active tab in the main RDM window rather than the currently selected session in the external window.

Hello,
I looked into it a bit more, and if you have set this setting in the file -> setting view
It should select in the tree your undocked entry when you focus it, making the menus apply to it. Unfortunately, changing the behavior of the entry menu would affect other scenarios, such as external entries where RDM cannot know what is focused, so we can't do it. The right click context menu of the tab is the correct way to do actions in a tab.
I see you also mentioned shortcuts, is this what you use to trigger the "Entry - Reconnect" ? If so, I believe we could add a "Actions - Reconnect" shortcut ( or something similar ) that would apply to the current active tab.
Best regards,
