<div> </div>
<div>As a user of pgAdmin4 I have some simple UI suggestions that would vastly improve the user experience for a great amount of users.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. Make it possible to close the tabs Dashboard, Properties, SQL, Statistics, Dependencies and Dependants. They take a lot of screen space which would be better used by tabs that the user opens like query editors.</div>
<div>2. Currently in order to present a schema's tables the user needs to perform 5 clicks. Make this and other common tasks more easily accessible.</div>
<div>3. Make it easy to update record columns data values that are presented in table form after executing select queries.</div>
<div>4. Renaming schemas should be possible from a right click menu.</div>

I support this suggestion 100%. The web based version of pg_admin is very
limited. You should be able to see the column data type witnesses drop
down list of the column.
I use \dS+ on command line to see table structure and properties. Pg_admin
is a sad tool

Ditto
Or pgadmin 4 rather. While pgadmin3 crashes when a server it's connecting
to is restarted, I myself prefer it. Unfortunately, pgadmin3 is pestering
with popups upon initial connection to postgres v10 and higher.

FWIW, this list is not for discussing pgAdmin; it's for general
administration issues for the core Postgres server. There is
a pgAdmin support list at pgadmin-support, or if you want to
help fix it join pgadmin-hackers.
List of Postgres community mailing lists is here:
https://www.postgresql.org/list/
