Allow to select which columns are displayed in panels other than the main one

Currently (at least in the online version), changing the “Select Columns” menu only affects the main Edictor panel, but not the other panels such as “Edit Cognates”. I and other people mainly work with the “Edit Cognates” panel, and it would be nice to be able to display other columns there too, e.g. columns with etymological comments. We may then just close the main panel instead of constantly going back and forth between the two.

That is not trivial to arrange. The wordlist panel is pretty special, and it is programmed with quite a lot of code lines, so the other panels are deliberate sub-selections that do not allow for the customizability.

I have to admit that I tend to annotate cognates for my data now completely in the wordlist panel (it gives me new cognates if I insert a string, not a number, and I do not mind to just type or copy identical numbers). So I am actually discussing with myself to drop the cognate panel alltogether and maybe add an option for "bulk editing" (you first select n cells, then you assign the same value to all n cells. Maybe this, in the wordlist panel, would just be a solution here?
