Description

When visualizing the result from a select, would be nice to see a big value on side panel, like dbeaver does.

Right now when I click on a json column, it opens a new tab, not that good to view multiple fields fast.

When I click a field, could open a side panel with the value instead a new tab, and I could navigate with arrow between result cells and se the current value in that panel
