Description:
When double-clicking on a table or view in Object Browser, the table/view name is sent to the SQL editor.  Please make this behavior configurable so user can tie the double-click to an automatic select statement.

How to repeat:
Double-click on a table in Object Browser and see the table name show up in the SQL editor.

Suggested fix:
Enable the user to tie the double-clicking to not only send a default select statement to the SQL editor, but also automatically run that select statement.  Most of the usage I get out of the WorkBench is to query tables, and the double-click behavior on the old Query Browser is exactly as requested.  Please bring that back!

Also dragging a table/view to the SQL editor should send the select statement to the editor but not run the query so user can modify it before running - also an old feature from Query Browser, very handy.

Thanks!
