Description

Good day. Thank you very much to the developers for this wonderful program =). I'm an IoT device developer, and I often use the serial port for debugging. But I also use the serial port for flashing devices, and I always have to disconnect from the Tabby tab's context menu to free up the port, then flash it, and then reconnect. It's extremely inconvenient. Therefore, I kindly ask you to add buttons. I use hotkeys, but the keyboard is not always at hand)) Thank you in advance and all the best.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the serial port tab component (likely in the terminal view) where the context menu provides Connect/Disconnect/Reconnect actions. Add a toolbar at the top of the window with corresponding buttons that trigger the same functionality. Look for existing UI patterns such as the settings button or other toolbar items for placement reference.
