Keyboard shortcuts

Shortcuts are written with macOS symbols: ⌘ Command, ⌥ Option, ⌃ Control, ⇧ Shift, ↵ Return, ⌫ Delete.

Linux and Windows

On Linux and Windows every shortcut is the same, with Ctrl in place of ⌘ and Alt in place of ⌥. For example, ⌘⇧L is Ctrl+Shift+L and ⌥⌘L is Ctrl+Alt+L. Tooltips and menus in the application show shortcuts in this form.

Most commands are also available by name in Find Action (⌘⇧A), which shows each command's shortcut next to it.

General

Shortcut Action
⌘⇧A Find Action
⌘⇧L Open New Query Console
⌘⇧[ / ⌘⇧] Previous Tab / Next Tab (wraps around)
⌘W Close Tab

Tool windows

Shortcut Action
⌘1 Database Explorer
⌘2 Files

⌘8 Services

Database Explorer and Files share the left panel, so opening one replaces the other.

Zoom IDE

Shortcut Action
⌃⌥⇧= Zoom In IDE
⌃⌥⇧- Zoom Out IDE
⌃⌥⇧0 Reset IDE Zoom

On Linux and Windows these are Ctrl+Alt+Shift with the same keys. They match the physical key. See Appearance.
