Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When experimenting with connectors, a fair bit of trial and error is needed to configure sizes and tolerances. However, there does not appear to be a way to edit existing connectors - the only option is to go back in the undo history to the relevant Cut. If the user has done many operations that they don't want to undo, this results in a loss of work.

Additionally, going back to the previous Cut is error prone, as changing connector settings after going back does not apply them to placed connectors unless the user selects the connector first - even though the user's previous input values were remembered.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add some method to edit connector sizes (and possibly placement) later.

Describe how it would work
Allow the user to bring up the connector settings UI again for a pair of connectors.

Describe alternatives you've considered
When going back in the Undo history to a Cut, and opening the connector settings menu, changing the settings applies them immediately to existing connectors. However, I think PrusaSlicer allows multiple connectors with different properties in the same Cut, and it would be challenging to decide which connector to select in an intuitive way.
