Keyboard Shortcuts

Defaults are listed below. Most shortcuts are rebindable in Settings > Keyboard; see Customizing shortcuts. The same key can do different things depending on focus: Cmd+[ indents in the editor and pages back in the data grid.

​

Essential

​

SQL Editor

​

Query Execution

​

File Operations

​

Text Editing and Find

Every row except Find Next and Find Previous is built into the editor and cannot be rebound. Standard macOS text navigation and clipboard keys also apply.

​

Data Grid

​

Navigation and Selection

​

Editing

​

Clipboard

With a drag-selected cell range, Cmd+C copies the range as TSV. With a single focused cell it copies that value. Otherwise it copies the selected rows as TSV.

​

Pagination

​

Filtering

See Filtering for the filter panel itself.

​

Import and Export

​

Tabs and Windows

​

Connections

​

Sidebar, Panels, and View

​

Result Tabs

​

Query History Panel

With the panel open (Cmd+Y): Return loads the selected entry in the editor, Delete removes it, Cmd+C copies its query.

​

Welcome Window

Ctrl+J/Ctrl+N and Ctrl+K/Ctrl+P also move the selection in the Quick Switcher.

​

CSV Inspector

See CSV Inspector.

​

Vim Mode

Turn on Vim mode in Settings > Editor. Vim keys apply only in the SQL editor; the data grid keeps its shortcuts, and Cmd+Enter runs the query in any mode. See Vim Mode for the key reference.

​

Customizing Shortcuts

Open Settings (Cmd+,) > Keyboard. Each action has a recorder field: click it and press the new combination. The menu bar updates immediately. Use the search field to filter actions, press Delete in a recorder field to clear a binding, click the curved-arrow button next to a changed shortcut to restore that one action, or Reset to Defaults to restore all. See Settings for the other tabs. If a combination is already used by another action in the same context, TablePro shows a dialog naming that action: Cancel keeps the existing assignment, Reassign moves the shortcut and clears it from the other action. Editor and data grid shortcuts can share a key without conflict because focus decides which fires. Menu actions need a modifier (Cmd, Option, Ctrl, or Shift); function keys F1 through F12 work bare, as do grid actions that read the key directly, like Preview FK Reference (Space).

​

Outside the App

TablePro can be driven without app shortcuts at all: the Raycast extension, the tablepro:// URL scheme, and MCP clients are covered in the External API section.
