Hm, never thought about a double-click, but... Um, doesn't a double-click count as two physical click operations? So with that way it's four clicks? Two for each pane. Maybe if you double-click one pane then simply single-click the other while it is still in 'connect mode'. That works. Still three clicks though. We can make it so that you click and hold in one pane then drag across to the other pane. Similar to QJackCtl. One click and a drag. The other pane would auto-scroll as you search for the desired item. Even draw a temporary connection line as you search item to item. I actually wanted to make the whole thing exactly like popup menus - one click to open and a drag to complete. I wanted to /replace/ the popup menus with this. The behaviour would be identical except now it's inside a sizable window. I was hoping to display only /one/ pane in context of who opened the dialog. But it was not achievable because the user needs to decide where to begin the drag at either of two places: an Omni item or a Channels item. Obviously still room for changes. I will be adding a feature so that you can click and drag to select more than one channel at a time, instead of having to click on each channel at a time. Hopefully will be in the popup menus too.
