Description
Proposed change
Jupyter Remote Desktop Proxy now provides a customizable UI overlay element. In this extension the default includes an interface to access the remote clipboard.
It can however also be customized to include navigation menus to facilitate access to different pages in jupyterhub.
One of the frequent usability issues is for users to be able to shutdown an environment. Many if not most proxied tools do not provide reliable mechanisms to logout or redirect a user to the shutdown page.
Such overlay would help novice users find their way to the Hub Control Panel (hub/home) where they can stop and restart environments.
Who would use this feature?
This feature has been a long standing request for many environments. Notably RSession/RStudio proxy where the exit/logout button is known for having confusing behavior or simply causing the environment to reload.
(Optional): Suggest a solution
A possible implementation could rely on a template HTML page with the structure seen in the above screenshot and the use of iframes for the proxied request.
