Thanks for the feedback! Regarding the run query shortcut, if you open the page, there‘s a comment banner on the top of the editor that mentions it. It‘s not the first time that I hear/read that people overlooked it though.

What would be a more intuitive way from your POV?

I‘ll look into the horizontal scrolling/CSV header issues, thanks!

Hi Tobi; Hi Archie, we all know each other from Twitter.

Check out what Postico does; it just highlights the current statement under the cursor by default and that's what gets run by default. Can't resist imposing this subtle SQL UX on everyone because it's my favorite (for like 10 years now).

Thanks Nico, a small world :-)

I‘ll look into this as fallback method. I don’t like Monaco Editor‘s handling of selections and cursors, it’s quite complicated, but this should be possible to implement…

Aha I did not notice that prompt. By default my brain is trained to ignore things that are commented out in code

I think I would execute the SQL query that the cursor was within.

Ie anything until the next ;

Thanks, I‘ll look into that!
