I have a couple suggestions to improve the pgAdminIII tool from my own
experience.
1.) Find-in-page in the help system
Rationale
When you search for a keyword in the help documentation, you get a
list of pages mentioning the keyword. However, pages mentioning the
keyword can be long themselves and it's hard to scan-read them without
the possibility to find keyword occurances inside them. I propose
every mention of a keyword be somehow pointed out (bolded, different
color, whatever) and/or a find-in-page functionality with a find-next
function key or hotkey.
2.) A find-again hotkey or keyword in the query editor
Rationale
This functionality kind of exist: <Ctrl>-F <Enter> will do the job,
but I vote for something along the lines of <F3>, the way it's done in
a lot of other apps.
3.) gvim-style, regexp search-replace functionality
Rationale
Short of embedding vi in the query editor (the type of *option* I'd be
thrilled to see), the possibility to do e.g. find all pairs of comma
separated values - '\(.*\)','\(.*\)' - and replace them with INSERT
statements - INSERT INTO country_codes (name, code) VALUES ('\1',
'\2'); - would be great. Of course, I can do all this with a
copy-paste to my favourite editor, but a
all-you-need-to-administer-postgresql tool would be better.
I'd appreciate an avalanche of comments. :-)
t.n.a.
