Working with windows

The Windows Toolbar of SQL Manager allows you to switch between child windows easily, like in Windows Task Bar.

To activate the window you need, simply click one of the window buttons. To perform some additional actions with the window, right-click its tab and select the corresponding menu item from the popup menu.

If you have multiple windows opened, you can also switch between them using the Ctrl+Tab shortcut.

You can move tabs along the Open Windows panel using a mouse: just drag and drop selected window tab.

When the number of editors exceeds the specified value, the previously opened editors will be closed automatically.
