Shortcuts

Here is a complete list of default hotkeys in DBeaver UI for Windows, Linux, and macOS users. It will help you work in DBeaver faster and more efficiently. Remember that you can always change the keyboard shortcut in the DBeaver settings. Go through: Window -> Preferences -> User Interface -> Keys.

* - Current query is the query under cursor or the selected text. Query is separated from other script queries by delimiter (; by default) or by empty lines.
** - Current script is a set of all queries in the current SQL file. If there is a text selection then only queries in this selection are processed. Queries are separated from each other with a delimiter (; by default).
*** - Current connection detected from active window and selection. If active (focused) window is SQL editor or database object editor then the current connection is the same as in this editor. If the active window is the database navigator then the active connection is the "owner" connection of the currently selected element. In other cases there is no current connection and DBeaver will ask you to choose the connection explicitly.
