Really good idea and a clean UI. However, I have two suggestions. 1. Can you please make the IP address field to accept text also ? The text will be domain name of the robot computer. My robot's IP address isn't static, so I use local domain name(myrobot.local) instead of IP. This won't be much of an effort for the developer, as Network APIs can handle domain & IP both, but will add value to user. 2. The SSH window has heavy decorations (animations). Traditional terminal interface will be better.

A help to others, even though everything is correct, you should edit all text boxes to trigger updates of strings (like delete the last character of strings to 192.168.1. And type 192.168.1.33 back, ) and then it successfully connects.

I'm using ros poetic, and I have configured the ip settings in the bashrc file. When I try to connect to master, the app crashes after a second. Please look into this issue
