If you want a flexible and convenient PostgreSQL client tool, use psql.

There, you can do what you want with

\dt schemaname*.tablename1

Not a single click is necessary!

It is also possible to use an SQL query:

  SELECT table_schema, table_name
  FROM information_schema.tables
  ORDER BY table_name, table_schema;

That will also be possible with pgAdmin's query tool.

It is not a good idea to choose a database design based on convenience
in using a certain schema browser.
