Multiple Tab Groups Vertically & Horizontally

I am trying to "reproduce" my Ecco Mutlifolder views in IQ. Because IQ doesn't allow a multifolder view I thought I could use a Tab group instead (not sure that I have the nomenclature right), each tab would correspond to a Folder in Ecco.  I put two Tab Groups next to each each other (Vertically). This would correspond to a Window with multiple Views in Ecco:

Copy / apply all options / settings from other file

Created a second database recently for work besides my general todo / projects / knowledge file. Turns out, many settings have reverted to default. Is there an easy way to copy all the options from my main database? Maybe just copy the .ini file and rename it - or would that be harmful?

Many thanks!

Auto refresh?

Sorry for a n00b question, but where in the manual is grid refresh discussed?

In Ecco, when I make changes to a grid, e.g. remove an item from the grid, it is immediately removed.
When I remove an item in IQ (e.g. from the inbox grid by unchecking the inbox field) the item is still there. I need to hit F5 to remove it by a manual refresh.

Is there some way to have  IQ automatically refresh the grid after I make a change or do I need to keep hitting F5 after a change?

How to make child items inherit tags of parent items?

Now that we have very robust options for hierarchical tags, I'm trying to figure out how to make child items inherit the tags of parent items. The "ItemTags" field doesn't seem to be available in the field management view, so I don't see how to create a Column Inheritance equation. Would there be some may to set certain tags to always automatically be assigned to children of tagged items?

Any way to automatically find related items?

I am wondering if there's any way to automatically find related items. Specifically, if I have an item called "Item1", I want to see all other items that contain the word, "Item1". In currently popular apps like Roam, Obsidian, and Logseq, this is known as "Unlinked References" or "Unlinked Mentions". Is there a way to write a Row Equation that would automatically populate with the names of items which contain the name of the current item? Or would there be some other way to achieve something like this?
