Unintuitive keyboard shortcuts

Open quantumwebco opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Absolutely love TablePlus, it's really nice to use, but I'm finding the keyboard shortcuts a bit difficult to get used to

For example, copy the whole row is CTRL+C and copy cell value is CTRL+SHIFT+C which seems the wrong way round, I'm more likely to want to copy a single cell than a whole row and SHIFT is generally for select multiple at OS level, so is more intuitive that SHIFT copies the whole row. There is no paste cell value keyboard shortcut I can find

Dbl click then CTRL+C/V works fine for single values so it's not really a big issue but my expected behaviour would be highlight cell CTRL+C copies the cell value, highlight cell and CTRL+V pastes the cell value, without dblclicking in to it

Refresh the whole workspace is CTRL+R but refresh current view is CTRL+ALT+R which also seems the wrong way round, I'm more likely to want to refresh the current view than the whole connection

JetBrains, Navicat and other GUIs I've used over the years all seem to work like that, so it's just a bit unintuitive coming to TablePlus which seems to do things slightly differently

Is it just me or is anyone else finding some of the keyboard shortcuts in TablePlus a bit odd? Is there any way to edit the keyboard shortcuts?

Thanks for such a great app overall

Gave up in the end. It's just to unintuitive to use coming from other GUIs. Feel free to close this.

It would be great to have the ability to re map shortcuts for actions
