Description
Most of the time when I connect to a database, I will sooner or later want to use the query tool. I presume it's the same for many users. It is annoying to every time have to right click on the database and select query tool.
I therefore suggest the option to configure to have the program automatically open the query tool tab when a connection is made to a database. In case there are multiple databases under the same server it can open a tab for each and ideally let the user specify which one that will be selected as the active tab.
This improvement would make a big difference in my daily use and I believe it would make life easier for others as well.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or code entry points. Start by locating the connection flow and the existing Query Tool action, then determine how a configurable automatic tab could handle multiple databases and selection; done means the behavior is configurable and opens the requested query tabs when connecting.
