Make Connector Pane Match Front Panel Arrangement

[Darren]

(note: this idea is similar to this one, but different enough that I thought it warranted a new post)

LabVIEW 2019 will include a Clean Up Front Panel feature that repositions front panel objects to match their positions on the (already wired) connector pane. I think we should also consider implementing the opposite behavior, where you can arrange your front panel the way you want your connector pane, then assign that arrangement to the (currently empty) connector pane:

I envision the gesture used to employ this feature would be a Quick Drop Keyboard Shortcut, an entry in one of the drop-down menus, or a right-click on the Connector Pane.

How about selecting all controls to be connected, followed by a left-click on the connector pane (or drag to...).

I'd use it, once I remember it's there.

Allowing a selection makes sense to me, even in combination with QD. Just like QD\ctrl+T (arrange labels) works with and without a selection.
