I often find myself looking at one thing on KVS, then another, and then wanting to go back to the previous one (all within the same Method/tab). So, having a 'back' button (and ideally also a 'forward' one) would be very convenient (and would also reduce the number of queries being sent to each engine...)
KVS Tool does not have a cache facility, by design, so the results are always retrieved in real-time.

However, you can run as many instances of the KVS Tool as required by clicking [Tools] -> [Launch Another Instance]. Alternatively, you can use the [Ctrl] + [P] keyboard shortcut to quickly save a snapshot of the current results.

These shortcuts already exist:
