Execute statement by shortcut in mysql workbench

Question

How can I execute any statement in MySQL Workbench using shortcut? Now I have to press buttom (yellow lightning). Of course I have read this: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/

Answer 1

MySQL Workbench 6.3

Default key mapping

• Execute (All or Selection) -> Ctrl+Shift+Enter

• Execute Current Statement -> Ctrl+Enter

---

Change the default mapping

Open:

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 6.3 CE\data\main_menu.xml

If you search for Execute (All or Selection) and for Execute Current Statement, you'll also identify (based on what you see in the screenshot above) the meaning of Modifier and Return:

• Modifier = Ctrl
• Return = Enter

Here you can change the default mappings. Being familiar with other tools like SQuirreL SQL and pgAdmin, I always prefer to run only the selected query using Ctrl+Enter or F5, so I change the following in the main_menu.xml:

1. To run the selected query using Ctrl+Enter:

     
      com.mysql.wb.menu.query 
      Execute (All or Selection) 
      query.execute 
      builtin:query.execute 
      action 
      Modifier+Return
     
    ...
     
      com.mysql.wb.menu.query 
      Execute Current Statement 
      query.execute_current_statement 
      builtin:query.execute_current_statement 
      action 
      Modifier+Shift+Return
      windows
     

2. Run the selected query using F5:

     
      com.mysql.wb.menu.query 
      Execute (All or Selection) 
      query.execute 
      builtin:query.execute 
      action 
      F5
     

Save the file and restart MySQL Workbench to see the changes.
