Hi Rob,
I often work with files with a lot of columns and the name of the columns are nearly the same.
So it’s hard to find a column by scrolling left and right.
The only way for me is to use the function “Table Metadata” and filter/find the column name and filter a value in this column to get the column name in blue color.
Now it’s easier to find this column by scrolling.
It would be really helpful it there is a button to search for column names and you can jump from one finding to the next and/or format these columns with another background color.
Thanks for this great tool.

Great suggestion. I will include it in the next update, scheduled for 2022Q2.

A “Jump to column” command is available in Qviewer 4.3.0. Let me know if this meets your need.
