When you are building a query for a table with many columns, it would be useful to be able to copy a string from the result pane that you could paste into the query:
select * from table_1 as f
left join table_2 as y on y.id = f.y_fk
The output would be something like "f.col_1,f.col_2,f.y_fk,y.id,y.col_1"
Perhaps a button on the dialog that pops up from clicking on [V Columns]? Or even an auto-updating preview in that dialog as you check or uncheck the columns!
