Huge tables, faster.
Big tables open instantly, paging and filters are fixed, and new shortcuts, an update notice and a welcome screen.
Performance
- Huge tables (hundreds of thousands of rows with large JSON/TEXT columns) now open instantly without freezing the app.
- Large cell values load as previews; the full value loads when you open the cell.
- Faster paging through big tables, and faster, non-blocking row counts.
- Loads and counts are cancelled when you navigate away.
Data grid
- Pagination and “Load more as I scroll” fixed: correct totals, no missing or duplicate rows, and row numbering continues across pages.
- Filters and search now apply to the whole table, not just the loaded page (press Enter to apply).
- Shift+click selects a range of rows.
- Cmd/Ctrl+C copies the selected rows.
- New setting to choose the default copy format (Settings → Editor & data).
- “Copy as…” (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+C) now works every time, with SQL, JSON, Markdown, TSV and CSV.
- Exporting a table’s rows now includes full values and the active filter.
Connections
- Closing one connection no longer closes the others.
- The connection switcher always shows the correct active connection.
- New shortcuts to switch connections: ⌘⌥←/→ on macOS, Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown on Windows/Linux. The hint shows next to the connection name.
Updates
- When a new version is available, Tabelaro now shows a notice on launch with a link to the changelog, and Install or Later buttons.
UI
- New welcome screen with the main keyboard shortcuts and a “Show on startup” option.
- Loading indicators when tables open, queries run, pages load and changes save.
- The collapsed sidebar shows the Tabelaro logo, which turns into the expand button on hover.
- Clearer selected color in the New Connection screen.
- The Links tab shows only the current table’s relations.
- Composite foreign keys now show correctly in the Links tab on PostgreSQL.
- “Choose a database” and “Browse the database” now focus the search box when they open.
- Wax changes show up immediately after you add or delete.
- The wax delete button no longer turns transparent on hover.
Behavior changes
- On macOS, row selection uses ⌘+click. Ctrl+click no longer toggles rows.
- Grid cells are no longer selectable with the mouse. Editing a cell still works.
- TSV and CSV copy and paste now quotes fields that contain tabs or newlines.
- On PostgreSQL, JSON cells show the value in the database’s own format.
- On very large tables, the row count may show as an estimate or “unknown” instead of an exact number.
