Tips
- Use the command palette (Cmd+K / Ctrl+K) to discover and run actions by name when you do not remember the shortcut.
- Tab shortcuts (Cmd+1 through Cmd+9) jump directly to the tab at that position, letting you switch between query tabs without cycling through them.
- You can view the full shortcut list at any time by pressing F1 to open the Help panel.
