Purge tables on Shift+Del and extended close options

Hi!

Just two suggestions…

  1. Pressing SHIFT+DEL on Schema Browser (Tables) should automatically check the ‘Purge’ option

  2. Having extended ‘Close Connections’ context menu options would be nice to have - here’s a screenshot of Notepad++ as example:

Hi Freddy,

  1. good idea.
  2. Not a bad idea, but it adds a lot of menu items. You can close multiple connections like this. Does that work for you?

Not the same… the other way gives you more context about what to close.
You can always group this into a sub-menu (Notepad++ does it like that) to avoid overhead:

My first reaction to #1 was "good idea", but it got me thinking....

In windows, if I just Del, the file always goes to recycle bin (assuming it will fit)
In Toad the "Purge" box may have its state remembered.
So if the purge state is remembered as "checked", then you just hit DEL to drop some tables, should we uncheck the Purge box? I would think not, but I can see how it might be confusing.

Maybe SHIFT should only work when the "remember" box is not checked.

Sure, that’s completely OK! I’ll try to remember not to check the remember box :smiley:

Ok, I added Shift+Del and close connection options for next beta.
