Tabbed Interface For Connections

Tabbed interface lets you open connections in separate tabs, so that you can jump between them quickly and easily. Tabs will be colored (if chosen) like the Object Browser. To switch between tabs use the shortcut keys Ctrl+n where n specifies the tabs no (e.g. Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2 etc). Ctrl + 9 shifts the focus to the last tab in the connection level irrespective of the number of tabs present.

NOTE: Drag and Drop of connection tabs(when there are multiple connections)and query level tabs is possible.

Also note that Tool tip is implemented for the query level tabs. When you roll the mouse over a tab, it shows the name of the corresponding tab and if a file is opened in the tab then it will show the fully qualified name of that particular file.
