Reconnect to Remote SSH at any time without reloading the window

[RickoNoNo3]

In the current setup, Remote SSH can reconnect to the server automatically in some situations that retries no more than 8 times (as the upper limit per settings)

Once a server is inaccessible for a long period, such as 30 min, it is clear that the auto-reconnect feature of Remote SSH has been terminated. A popup window stating "Cannot reconnect. Please reload the window." will appear. We can do nothing within the same workspace on remote until we reload the window.

In fect, it is important to note that "RELOAD WINDOW" is vastly different from "RECONNECT". The former forcibly discards any unsaved changes if they were not saved in time before the connection was closed. That's troubling due to the unpredictable unavaibility of our server.

Is there a function or command for in-window reconnection at any time, instead of relying solely on extension behaviors, and instead of reloading window?

I think your request basically fits into this one #3096 to support a long-running ssh session rather than shutting down remote sessions that appear to be idle
