A suggestion based on an idea that I've been trying to implement for a while: consider replacing the left panel's form editing experience with an assistive command line at the bottom.

E.g. rather than clicking table, "add field", clicking the name, typing, clicking the type drop down etc., just start writing something like:

    : users.add_column
    name: email
    type: varchar
    length: 200
etc., with some assistive auto complete

or, if you're inclined to using an LLM:

   add column email to users table, varchar(200)
or, for those who want strict sql:

   alter table add column...
