Maybe
I am oversimplifying things, but it appears to me that when a table name is displayed at the top (div id="serverinfo") it would be a good single point to call the "remembering" function.
Thanks, Marc. This should be a good point to remember accessed tables. I've implemented this in my browsemode branch. Next: remember accessed tables in PMA database (if configured), so it will show up next time the user re-open
phpmyadmin.
