ER to have Toad use a hotkey combo or other to automatically open a new SQL tab, execute and show data grid for different query in the same Editor.

One feature TOAD lacks is that the data grid gets replaced after a new query is run via editor (Shift + F9). It would help hugely if new data grid tab opens for every new query execution.

I see in the ToadWorld forums that it's not possible to get new data grid window for Script execution (F5); but it would be helpful to be able to run a hotkey combo for F9 to automatically open a new Editor Tab, copy the query, Execute and show data grid.

That way we don't need to keep on opening new editor tabs, copy and paste, then execute for every query manually.
