Multi-Window Support

data-peek supports multiple windows, allowing you to work with different databases or queries side by side.

Opening New Windows

From Menu

File → New Window or press Cmd+Shift+N (macOS) / Ctrl+Shift+N (Windows/Linux)

Use Cases

• Compare data across different databases
• Monitor one database while querying another
• Keep a reference query open while writing new ones
• Separate development and production databases

Window Independence

Each window is fully independent:

• Separate connections: Each window can connect to a different database
• Separate tabs: Query tabs are window-specific
• Separate history: Query history is tracked per window
• Separate results: Results don't interfere between windows

Window State

data-peek remembers window state:

• Window size and position
• Active connection per window
• Open tabs and their content

Tips

Organize by Environment

Keep separate windows for:

• Development database
• Staging database
• Production database (read-only queries)

Side-by-Side Comparison

Use your OS window management to tile windows:

• macOS: Drag window to screen edge, or use Stage Manager
• Windows: Win+Arrow keys
• Linux: Varies by desktop environment

Keyboard Navigation

When you have multiple windows:

• Cmd + backtick (`) - Cycle through data-peek windows (macOS)
• Alt+Tab - Switch between windows (all platforms)
