Yup, known bug, being worked on.

That option is for editting any arbitrary config file. To edit the one on the connected server you need the
instrumenation/adminpack installed on the server (it is by default with PostgreSQL on Windows). Then, you can use the
optionon the Tools -> Server configuration menu.

Not necessarily - and it doesn't really fit with the purpose of the Edit Grid. That's more the job of the Query Tool
whichcan already export data, though it might be useful to allow the export of a single cell (currently it exports the
wholeresultset, though that might be only one cell of course).

No, it's works in the same way as MS SQL Server's Query Analyzer. Just select the query you want to run, and when you
hitexecute, only the highlighted text will be sent to the server.

You can already view the contents of the table in a single click. The way it is a present, you can open multiple tables
atonce though.

Few, if any treeviews allow you to select multiple nodes at once so this is unlikely to be possible.
Thanks for the suggestions,
