Re: save SQL in PgAdmin4

Dave,

I'd like to make a feature request that PgAdmin4 add a save button (that is
always enabled) to any window that displays SQL.
Most editors I have worked with always provide a save (and/or save as) even
if the text has not changed.
Even PgAdmin3 has a Save button for SQL displayed in the SQL window.
