Multiple Window View #2827
Description
Describe the new feature
1: Ability to view two tables of the same database at once (top & bottom or side by side view).
2: Ability to view two tables from different databases at once.
3: Ability to Copy/Paste between both table views in items 1 and 2 above.
4: Ability to view the Browse Data and Execute SQL tabs simultaneously so I can see changes to tables dynamically update as commands are executed. This would be a great learning tool.
Thanx for your hard work.

You haven't specified what OS you're using, but the 'multiple windows' is possible using the nightly, in the 'browse data' tab, so you can have multiple tables open.
The nightlies are currently broken, but you can download one from 20 Aug from here:
https://nightlies.sqlitebrowser.org/win32/DB.Browser.for.SQLite-2021-08-20-win32.zip
This allows a wide variety of customisable views - great if you have a large monitor.
Note this still only opens tables in the current database. For your #2, you'd have to attach the other database, or you could open another instance of DB4S and resize the windows.
Obviously, this solves #3 as data can be copied and pasted via the clipboard.
This doesn't solve #4, but 'sort of' does if you open more than one instance, as shown above.

I'll close this as it's been a month without any interaction.
The multiple windows idea is still in development, so hopefully will mature as time marches forward.
