Hi Hackers,

I am working on removing the jQuery based wcDocker with ReactJS based rc-dock.

The new lib allows us to reset layout without reloading pgAdmin. The one thing it doesn't provide is adding a panel using tab bar context menu. I was able to add a custom context menu but only on the tabs and not on the complete tab bar.

So my question is, do we need something to add a panel back or reset layout should be enough as we'll not reload pgAdmin?

If yes, please suggest on how we can do it without using the context menu. One way is to have a menu with check menu items for each default panel.

Attached is a screen recording to show the current behavior.

If we add a button in browser explorer(We can change the location of a button) and click on it will show a drop-down menu with a list of all closed tabs, and selecting it will open the selected tab on the right side.

Something like this, click on the (+) plus button on Object Explorer and select the tab name from drop-down options. (I know there are Query Tool, Search, and PSQL Tool buttons already there we can change the location of the button)

I think we can do that, but on the main panel and not on object explorer and with some relevant icon. 

Any other suggestions/ideas?
