This is the documetation for the keyboard shortcuts for the SQL Query window for Fabric Warehouses:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-warehouse/sql-query-editor#keyboard-shortcuts
I'm using Edge.
Not counting standard text cell movement keys,
These do work for me:
| New SQL query | Ctrl + Q |
| Close current tab | Ctrl + Shift + F4 |
| Run selected SQL script | Shift +Enter |
| Cancel running SQL script | Alt+Break |
These do not work for me:
| Run SQL script | Ctrl + Enter |
| Indent increase | Tab |
| Indent decrease | Shift + Tab |
| Comment | Ctrl + K, Ctrl + C |
| Uncomment | Ctrl + K, Ctrl + U |
* The "tab" key inserts spaces to align to 4th column. Yes, it's a bit nit picking to say this isn't "Indent increase", but the spaces happen where the cursor is, so it doesn't always indent a line. And the indent decrease don't work since there isn't a real indent increase.
These are some random unlisted ones that work for me right now:
| CTRL + U | Seems to move the cursor to the previous cursor postion |
| CTRL + I (upper case i) | Engages Autocomplete at that cursor point (intellisense / CoPilot suggestions) |
| CTRL + L | Highlight the entire current line. Additional presses add next line to selection. |
| CTRL + SHIFT + K | Deletes the current row |
So, my question is does the documentation need to be updated? Or is work being done to restore the SQL Query window to work the way it is documented?
HI @mikeburek,
I suppose this issue may related to data warehouse features release, and they affected the existed shortcuts key usages. (currently, this part hasnโt been removed from the official document, so I think fabric will be fixed these at the following updates)
