In general, you'll get "Search" and "New" with each entity you enter
in ERModern, etc, and I'm more interested in a paginated list of all
(or a batch set) of those entities

I think I mean entities here, as noted above.

This is for Display. I find D2W is more intuitive to setup a full CRUD
(and thus the CUD part) but the defaults for Display are not as
intuitive for the users. Even in creation of a relation, you get an
nice embedded search pane or new pane, and although it can be
converted into a pull down list to select from w/o "new" -- the end
users are typically expecting a pull down with one fo the new items
being "create new..." or similar. Its a little jarring to go down the
rabbit hole of multiple search/new embedded windows when the
relationship maps get complex :)
