I believe Metabase is using Ace editor for its SQL editor. It would be nice to be able to use all the keyboard shortcuts defined in Ace Editor (defined here: https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/wiki/Default-Keyboard-Shortcuts)
In particular, I would like to be able to do multi-select. For instance, if I highlight a word, I would like to be able to create a new selection that highlights the next word while keeping the original word highlighted.
On mac, this is cmd + d in VS Code. It appears Ctrl-Option-Right should do it in Ace however it doesn’t seem to be working in Metabase.
If there is another shortcut, what is it?
Thanks!
Hi @brendanfalk
Metabase currently uses Ace, but I don’t know why it isn’t working. There’s several shortcuts that doesn’t work on Linux.
We have considered switching to Monaco, but that’s a lot of work too:

Okay. It is weird as some other shortcuts work. Are you overriding them?
@brendanfalk No, I don’t think so, but browsers do their own thing - and then your OS does it’s own thing too - so perhaps it’s being overwritten there.
