The original feature request only specified the ability to take
snapshots. I added the manual backup shortcut as well, since
navigating through the menu for this action felt unnecessarily
cumbersome when performing just a quick backup.
Changes since v3:
* replace anonymous functions with arrow style functions
* reverted approach from v2 after some experimentation, simulating
latency using chrome dev tools + traffic control
* uses the same approach as in v1/v2 to match behaviour seen in the
Snapshot tab
Changes since v2:
* rebased
* use autoShow on snapshot and backup windows
* improve UX and account for slow connections by only making API
calls for snapshot feature on button click
changes since v1, thanks @Fiona Ebner
* clarified commit message
* addressed several issues in the added menu options, namely:
* correctly handle disabled state with async
* fixed negation logic and cleaned up minor nits
