Both points 1 and 2 seem to be Mac-specific features.

Auto-sizing feature is implemented and afaik will be included in
release 1.19.

I feel a strong lack of a flexible Data Editor in pgAdmin. Well, Data
Viewer could be a first step. It may be implemented as a popup-window
with several tabs each showing it's representation of a text/blob.
Plaintext, Hexadecimal, XML tree, JSON tree - these are obvious needs.
Further development may introduce some kind of plugins to represent
various text/blob data.
That's solely observations for now... I'd love to hear opinions from
the pgAdmin team.

That's the way an option of query editor "Copy SQL from main window to
query tool" is implemented. It makes an initial modification of empty
textarea for you, surely marking it as modified.
If there are no objections, I'll look for how to fix that.
