Is there any secret I don't know?
I mostly use pgadmin because:
1) It is easier to cut and paste code and results
2) It's easier to open several connections
3) you've the object structure to navigate

But I miss psql auto completion.

I know I can call an external editor that would make cut&paste
easier in psql but I'll lose autocompletion and I've had some issues
with pgadmin search&replace and regexp, so I definitively would
enjoy psql more... but what about the rest?
