It's my first time here and I hope I am sending this to the right mailing list.
I am starting to use pgAdmin 3 more and more nowadays and thought that having a multi tabbed interface would be beneficial especially that most (if not all) similar tools go that route. Somewhere in the mail archives I've read that tabs are not being implemented because too much code would need to be changed. But I thought I'd give it a try anyway.
I have implemented SQL tabs in the 1.22.0 version and have been using it for a week. Works just fine for me, so I wonder if there is any interest in adding this feature to pgAdmin 3.
Brief overview:
The changes to existing code were kept to a minimum.
All SQL tabs still operate on the same connection and share the same result pane.
Each tab has it's own dirty flag, EOL style, and file from/to which it was loaded/saved.
