After executing a query, the Edit button opens a new window. Would it be possible to do the editing in place? For example, by using a textarea to display the query?
If I may jump in, I think it should remain the same so as to not confuse users. I spend a lot of time in the IRC channel and here on the support forums, and people don't handle needless change well. They don't even handle necessary changes well.
While I personally don't like the new window, it's easy enough to change in config.inc.php and hopefully soon the per-user configuration database. I'm just pointing out that people are easily confused when familiar things suddenly are different.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Ok, I guess the default won't be changed.
With $"cfg['EditInWindow'] = false;" it still takes a page refresh to start editing. Wouldn't it be possible to show the textarea right away or to use JS to show it dynamically?

Use
$cfg['EditInWindow'] = false;
Any chance to get that by default?
We have zero chances to please everyone with the default configurations.
True, but the right question would be which of the two would please more people.
I guess it's the current setting as I don't remember having seen other complaints.
Reasoning like that isn't valid.
BTW, what about https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2807145&group_id=23067&atid=377411
Fine, you found one other complaint.
What's the advantage of the new window?
When fine-tuning a query you make your changes in the separate window, click Go, see the results and can immediately change your query and test again.
Isn't that also the case when you use a edit field on the original page?

I don't agree. In that case we'd get stuck in the last century.
I agree with ibennetch.

I think this could be possible.

Why would users get confused?
IMHO both "$cfg['EditInWindow'] = false;" by default and JS-showing additional TEXTAREA to edit SQL and run it again would be user-friendly.
I am working on this feature. I am posting this comment. So, no one is duplicating.
Ok Marc ?
