Nick Couchman commented on GUACAMOLE-137:
-----------------------------------------

I agree this would be really nice.  I actually started working on an implementation of this.  Given the nature of needing to define the connection both on the back-end (Java Servlet) and the front-end (AngularJS application), I was wondering if the best way to handle this within Guacamole is to actually use an extension similar to the JDBC ones, but instead of a persistent on-disk database, create an in-memory database with the connections.  A "Quick-Connect" area could be created on the home screen, and when the connection information is entered the connection will be created in the in-memory database and then connected both on guacd and web side.

Maybe there's a simpler way - maybe I'm overthinking it, but that's the direction I was working.  I was also thinking of making it an extension, not a patch or change to the core Guacamole application.

> A feature that I would find very handy is to have a Quick Connect options so that rather than creating a connection, there is a text box that accepts the server name with a drop down on the service type (RDP, VNC, etc) with some preconfigured defaults...
> Personally, I have a lot of servers and it would be much quicker for me to type the server name than creating all of the connections
