Add a confirmation popup when activating "Broadcast input"

Activating the "broadcast input" feature for SSH connections should systematically display a confirmation popup (with Yes/No buttons). In this confirmation popup, I'd put a message like "Warning: you are about to activate the broadcast input feature. Be careful!" and add a link to the documentation.
Here are 3 reasons to do so:
Broadcast input is a very powerful feature, but it's also dangerous because you're applying commands to different servers, and the slightest deviation could result in unwanted actions.
Because the button can easily be activated by mistake/misclick. You can judge by yourself with a case that often happens to me:
Because there's already been a bug on Royal TS that activated this feature by mistake when closing a tab, which almost had serious consequences for me.
great suggestion! I implemented a prompt and I also improved the feature a bit allowing you to still directly type into a session which is not an enabled input broadcast receiver. This should better prevent accidents.
