Choosing a machine raised the connect bar over the bottom of the list: a password box, CONNECT, EDIT, MOVE and DELETE. Five controls in the way of the one thing a tap on a machine's name obviously means. So the gestures split. A tap connects. A long press raises the bar, with all five. The pencil in the phone's header — its only persistent chrome — edits whichever host is chosen, which is the one of the five common enough to be worth a control that is always in the same place. The flag doing it is the desktop's own IsHostPaneOpen rather than a second one. That head made exactly this move when a selection stopped opening its drawer, and the question both are asking is "has somebody asked about this host" — answering it twice is how two heads come to disagree about what a selection means. One tap cannot finish: a host that authenticates with a typed password has nowhere on a list to be given one. That tap raises the bar with the box in it and says so, and a second tap with the box filled in connects. The branch is in the view model rather than in the head, because "can this machine be reached without asking for anything" is the same question the bar's own password box answers, and a copy of it in a view would be a second reading of a binding chain that has one. Two mechanics worth knowing. Avalonia raises Tapped on release whatever the press lasted, so a long press would open the bar and then connect — one touch firing both gestures — which is why HostsScreen tracks the hold and swallows the tap it precedes. And Holding only fires once IsHoldingEnabled is set, so that and the handler are attached together rather than one in markup and one in code. ConnectToRecent now opens the pane rather than selecting the row. On the phone it has to: a selection alone raises nothing now, so going back to a recent machine would land on a screen with nothing to press.
