Tabbed windows instead of popup windows

For Example,

Editing the SQL in an SQLExecutor requires

opening the Parameters form (popup)

opening the SQL Statement form (popup)

at this point the workbench is now hidden behind 2 layers of windows which demand focus

i.e. both of these forms have to be closed before getting back to the workbench, making jumping in and out of tools more fiddly. One example is having to close the SQL form to read any error messages generated in the Transaction Log

I suggest the forms can instead be made tabs on the main window, allowing for a less cluttered interface experience and quick switching between the forms via the tabs.

I agree. We do have many layers of modal dialogs. We'll keep working to figure out how to reduce these. (We do have some plans..)
