Tab switcher

✓ functional

Move between open queries with Ctrl+Tab and a preview that helps you pick the right one.

Once a few query tabs are open, titles alone stop being much help. Hold Ctrl and press Tab for a most-recently-used list with a live preview of the highlighted query. Keep tapping Tab to move through the list, then release Ctrl to land where you need to be. Your last two queries are always one flick apart.

What each entry shows

The switcher has two panes: a compact list of open queries on the left and a preview of the highlighted query on the right.

The list (left)

Each row carries the query's engine glyph, its name (with a dot when it has unsaved edits), and its connection trail - client, project, environment, server, database - so two tabs on different targets never look alike. Rows are ordered most-recently-used.

The preview (right)

A fuller look at the highlighted query, top to bottom: title, AI summary, the query body, and a run line.

The preview, top to bottom

  1. Title. The engine glyph and the query's name.
  2. AI summary. A one-line, plain-language description of what the query does - so you recognise it by intent, not just by filename.
  3. Query body. The SQL itself, rendered as text in the editor font, so you can confirm you've got the right query at a glance. Long queries are clipped with a “… N more lines” marker.
  4. Run line. How long ago the query last ran and how much it returned - e.g. “Ran 3m ago · 1,240 rows · 2 result sets” - or “Not run yet” for a query you haven't executed.

The Ctrl+Tab switcher: an MRU list of open queries on the left, and a preview on the right showing the title, AI summary, query body, and last-run line.
Recognise queries the way you remember them. Between the AI summary (what it does) and the query body (how it does it), you rarely need to read a tab title to know which query you're switching to.

Closing tabs in bulk

Need to clear the deck? The tab's context menu can close tabs in bulk - to the right, all but this one, or every open tab - with a single unsaved-changes prompt covering the lot instead of one dialog per tab.
