Automatically extract port when pasting host:port into Hostname / IP #2608

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When creating a new connection, I often copy connection details in the common host:port format, for example:

example.com:1234

When pasting this into the Hostname / IP field, HeidiSQL currently keeps the complete value in that field. I then have to manually remove :1234 and enter 1234 into the Port field.

Describe the solution you'd like

When a value containing a host and port is pasted into the Hostname / IP field, HeidiSQL should automatically split it:

example.com:1234

should become:

• Hostname / IP: example.com
• Port: 1234

The same should work for IPv4 addresses:

192.0.2.10:5432

And ideally for the standard bracket notation for IPv6:

[2001:db8::1]:5432

A plain IPv6 address such as:

2001:db8::1

should of course not be interpreted as containing a port.

The port should only be extracted if the part after the separator is a valid numeric TCP port (1–65535).

It would be preferable to perform this when pasting the value or when leaving the Hostname / IP field, rather than immediately while typing, so entering a hostname manually is not interrupted.
