Using tabs for database navigation
To make your work with Database Explorer even more convenient, the capability of working with several tabs is implemented.
You can use tabs when you wish to work with a particular node of the DB Explorer tree only: with one specific schema, or with tables of some schema, or with a specific database project. Creating such tabs will minimize scrolling within large trees, you only need to switch between them with a single click on the corresponding tab.
Creating tabs
In order to create a new tab:
- right-click the node for which you wish to create a tab and select the New Tab from Here... context menu item.
Renaming tabs
In order to rename a tab:
- switch to the tab by clicking its caption (there can be only one active tab, and it is differentiated by a different color);
- right-click within the DB Explorer area and select the Rename Current Tab... context menu item.
Removing tabs
In order to remove a tab:
- switch to the tab by clicking its caption (there can be only one active tab, and it is differentiated by a different color);
- right-click within the DB Explorer area and select the Delete Current Tab context menu item.
Note: Navigation through the tabs is also possible with the help of the following shortcuts:
- Ctrl+Shift+N - move to the next tab;
- Ctrl+Shift+P - move to the previous tab.
