Add Edit Button to servers in the Server List

This would be useful for various reasons, but one specific one from a UX standpoint would be to see Server Information (Host, Port, and such) for each server.
As it currently stands, it is not possible to see information of a server or where it's connecting to, only the Server Name.

In my honest opinion instead of showing the server name, show the Host:port and underneath that show the server name.
From a security standpoint knowing where you are connecting to is more important then an arbitrary server name that can be set (spoofed) by anyone (not that there's a real threat of that).

For example:

(show port if the host is not to a domain, perhaps show `https://` if the server is capable of SSL/TLS connections)

PROS:

  • Cannot be spoofed or faked for some kind of reason (though that kind of remote threat doesn't exist, but alas)
  • You know exactly where you're connecting to, not to an arbitrary alias
  • Multiple servers with the same or similar Server Names will no longer be able to be confused with one another
  • When you have old server instances in your Server List, it is easier to distinguish which ones are the old ones
  • Ability to see which servers are SSL/TLS secured

CONS:

  • ???
