Description:
The default schema selection drop-down in the Object Browser is cumbersome to use on servers with many schemata.  The selection shows only 8 options at a time with scrolling - a slow and tedious way to select a schema.

How to repeat:
Open a DB connection to a host with large number of schemata.  Select new default schema in Object Browser "Default:" drop-down.

Suggested fix:
Implement Query Browser double-click behavior.

In Query Browser, double-clicking on any non-default schema selected it as the new default.  Subsequent double-clicks would expand or collapse the details.

-OR-

Add a "Select as default" to the schemata context menu option.

Even on hosts with few schemata, this would improve usability.

Many thanks for writing a feature request.
