More to Add:
Core features missing from pgadmin4
-There's no search functionality in the sql-query/function editor
-You cannot dynamically change the font size bigger/smaller with
ctrl-mouse-scroll
-You cannot open a query in a new window
-Functions all open up in a tab named 'Query-untitled' with no obvious
way to change the title. Once you have 3+ functions open, the
navigation is unwieldy
-'View Data' opens up in tabs named 'Query-1', 'Query-2'...etc.
navigation is unwieldy once the tab is opened.
-my favorite feature of pgadmin3 data viewer: double click on a column
to auto-side the column... is missing
Things that would be nice to have:
- View next 100/500/1000/etc rows instead of being limited to the top or
bottom rows
- ability to edit the query from a 'view data' click.. if there is a
primary key on the table... still allow editing
- reordering columns in the 'create table' dialog
- show 'create script'-style sql for when clicking on an item (I think
we all agree you can safely hide the dashboard once you're clicking
around in the schema)
While I completely understand the push to new technology and an easier
codebase to maintain... but with all these major usability issues,
pgadmin4 is definitely not ready for prime time and many of us would
appreciate some continued development on pgadmin3 by the core team.
I suggest starting up a page to keep track of all these features that
are must-haves and then the community can vote and prioritize?

Hi,
Regarding the release of pgAdmin 4 I need to point out some problems I'm facing
with the new version.
First and most annoying - it is slow, really slow - one thing that pgAdmin had
over other db management systems (MySQL Workbench, Microsoft Management Studio
etc.) was its speed - now it's gone...
There is a significant regress in functionality:
- no favorites
- no recent queries
- no single line select (query tool)
- no notepad
- no bracket highlight (start-end, orphan)
- after every query result columns resize to some predefined width (should stay
as set)
- no possibility to detach panel to window (multi monitor setup)
- view data result is shown without oid (no option to set it up)
- view data - disabled field edit when no primary key is set (that's why oids
are for!)
- cannot select and copy fields from result
- triggers does not descent to its function (it's under properties)
- no object search
- no option to change database in query tool
- history in query tool is useless - can't see query if it is little longer, no
copy/paste
- ...
And also bugs:
- only one error message for every query error: "Not connected to the server or the
connection to the server has been closed."
- view data last/first 100 does not work - always first 100
- view data query is not editable (why is it there???)
- copy button does nothing
- global copy/paste mess - in one place Ctrl+C works other not, the same for
context menu
- ...
I've tried to work with version 4.x for few hours - gave up... The issues above
are only from these few hours...
