Research direction

Start in src/pages/Editor.tsx: inspect the tab context menu and how addTab handles tab ordering and state. Add the duplicate action and its translation key in every locale under src/i18n/locales/; run pnpm test, pnpm lint and pnpm typecheck. Done means console and table tabs duplicate as active tabs immediately after the source, without copying results or file links, and notebooks do not show the action.

Description

feature request good first issue
🚀 Feature Proposal

Add Duplicate tab to the editor tab context menu. It opens a new tab right after the source one with the same SQL and query parameters.

Motivation

When tweaking a query it is handy to fork it and try a variation without losing the original.

Where to start
  • src/pages/Editor.tsx: the tab context menu. Add an item that calls the existing addTab with the source tab's type, query, queryParams, activeTable and schema/database, and a title suffixed with " (copy)".
  • Do not copy results, sourceFilePath or notebook ids.
  • New i18n key, e.g. editor.duplicateTab.
Acceptance criteria
  • The duplicate opens as the active tab, placed right after the source tab, with identical SQL and parameters.
  • Results are not copied, and the copy is not linked to the source .sql file.
  • Works for console and table tabs; hidden or disabled for notebooks.
Contributor notes
  • Follow the repo rules in .rules/ (TypeScript, React, design tokens, accessibility, testing).
  • Any new UI string needs a key in every locale under src/i18n/locales/.
  • Run pnpm lint, pnpm typecheck and pnpm test before opening the PR.
