Description:
When running a new query (such as by right clicking on a table and selecting "Select Rows - Limit 1000"), a new tab opens with a very generic name  "Query X".

If I do this for several tables, it quickly becomes difficult to find the table I need when I need it.  I have to click on each Query tab and look and the tab at the bottom or at the SQL for the select to see which table's data I'm looking at.  It would be super handy to name the Query tab after the table, and also to allow renaming of it to something else.  (The auto-naming feature could be a setting.)

THANKS!

New tabs created automatically are named after the table.
