Description

One of the things I really, really liked about RDM was that when viewing a list or hash, I had the key/value pairs and below that I had a value window. It allowed me to quickly click between entries and see the entire value.

RedisInsights combines that into a pretty interface where when I click on the value, it expands to show the entire value. But, it's too slow. I can't quickly close that row and move to the next.

Maybe I'm the only person looking for this kind of functionality. I really only use a Redis client when I'm developing something. But occasionally, I need to dig through a large number of entries. I don't always know what I'm looking for so searching is impractical.

Below is a screenshot from an old version of RDM as an example. It's a simple list and the values are small enough where I don't need this feature for this list, but it's just as example of what I'm looking for.

Research direction
