Can not figure out how to create a new connection

[chipkent]

As of version 1.9, I am totally unable to figure out how to create a DH connection. I've tried the new DH item in the left bar, I've tried cmd+p, the bottom bar, etc. No luck. Since I can't figure this step out, the plugin is basically unusable right now.

@chipkent first thing to check would be whether the extension is aware of your running server. The default config looks for localhost:10000. If it is running, you should see the server listed in the "Running" group of the DH activity bar item.

If you are running a server on a different port, it will need to be explicitly configured in the extension settings:
e.g.

"deephaven.coreServers": [
  "http://localhost:10000/",
  "http://localhost:4010/"
],

If the extension shows your server running, you should just be able to run any Python file or selection, and it should auto connect to the server or prompt you to select it if you have multiple running.
