The desktop had no way to reach a machine that was not in the keychain; the phone has had a manual
box on its terminal screen all along. The palette's query now reads as an address when it has an @
in it: a "not saved" row offers to dial it, Enter asks for the password in place, and a second Enter
connects. Escape on the password step goes back to the address.

It goes through the phone's own path, now split out as VaultViewModel.ConnectToEndpointAsync, so the
tab, the host-key question and the connection-log entry are the same on both heads and nothing is
written to the keychain. Password only, as on the phone: a key is the reason to save the host.

The typed row takes the highlight unless a saved host dials exactly that address, so typing a new
address cannot land on a saved machine whose address merely starts the same way.

Covered by eleven new QuickConnectTests; manual check 7.10a covers the real dial.

Ctrl+K: type a few characters of a host's name and press Enter to connect to it — or type user@host, press
Enter, and give a password, to connect to a machine that is not saved at all.
The design's box promises "search hosts · run command". Only the first half is here, because there is no
snippet or saved-command item type in the vault for the second half to run — see

The typed address, above the saved hosts: what was typed was an address, so the row that dials it
is the one the query is most plainly about. It is lit by IsAdHocSelected rather than by the list's
own selection, because it is not a host and the list below holds hosts only — see the remark on
MainWindowViewModel.IsAdHocSelected. Classes="qcrow adhoc" shares the list rows' look; the
selected state is a class here because there is no ListBoxItem around it to carry :selected.
"not saved" in the corner, where a saved row says how it authenticates: that is this row's answer
to the same question, and the one thing worth knowing before choosing it.

Arrow keys move the selection and Enter takes it; the code-behind owns both, because a ListBox that

A click connects rather than merely selecting, which is what a list of hosts under a search box
looks like it does — the keyboard route already treats choosing a row and connecting to it as one
act, and a pointer that only highlighted would leave the palette open over a choice already made.
The gesture is wired in the code-behind, as the sidebar's double-click is.
