Hi all,
I've update a beta version, would like you to test it first.. please drop me comment and feedback here..

updated:
- now is still using "attributeInfo", if it still encounter error in future I would change to use "listAttr"
cause listAttr give me a attr's name too long, which will break the UI.
- add attribute filter to filter the list
- add mutli attribute,
- add nodeType and count attrs info
- connect button moved to buttom.

going to update:
- will add "+ " sign in the list, to indicate it is a multi attr.
- the "connect" button will label the "connectAttr AA.ty BB.tx" directly.
- try to deal with show connected attrs.

I've changed the name from "searchListConnectAttr" to "connectionEditorPlus"....

easy connect.....any node..
easy life..
