Description:
The new EDIT keyword seems unnecessary.  I find myself running SELECT commands only to realize afterwards that I have to modify the results.  I then have to rerun the command in EDIT mode.  Once in a while, the query may take a while to run since they are usually one-time queries not optimized for normal usage and I have to run it twice in these cases before I can edit.

How to repeat:
Execute a SELECT command on any database table.  You cannot modify any of the cell contents.

Suggested fix:
Have an edit button that must be pressed, or an auto-edit mode like the old MySQL Query Browser had.

YEs, please remove that Non-sense keyword. We edit the returns of a select.

Return the old behaviour which was appropriated, a Edit or always edit preference.

Also, this EDIT keyword is spamming the History tab, and there is two menuitems in the table context menu. Edit and Select. What about just select with edit mode on by default if the user selected that preference?
