Navigation
One of the main features of dblab is to be a simple but very useful UI to interact with your database.
- Ctrl+I to move from Rows to Indexes and backwards.
- Ctrl+T to move from Rows to Constraints and backwards.
- Ctrl+S to move from Rows to Structure and backwards.
When selected each panel will show different information in the bottom box:
- Rows: Will show the result of the executed query. Press Ctrl+Space to execute the query.
- Structure: Will show the schema of the table selected
- Constraints: Will show the constraints of the table selected
- Indexes: Will show the indexes of the table selected
In order to be able to see the information of Structure, Constraints or Indexes first you need to select a table from the left menu.
To navigate there you can use:
- Ctrl+H: Toggle to the panel on the left
- Ctrl+J: Toggle to the panel below
- Ctrl+K: Toggle to the panel above
- Ctrl+L: Toggle to the panel on the right
Once you are placed above the correct name in the menu press Enter to select the table.
Now you can navigate to the different panels to see the information related to it.
