Issue fixed: Query tool shortcuts weren't working on mac runtime. Also changed shortcut key for "Explain analyze" from Ctrl+Shift+A ---> Alt+Shift+N as Ctrl+Shift+A was conflicting with shortcut to show "about" dialog in runtime.

The only app I've found so far like that is Gmail, but 95% of it's shortcuts are single keys that only work when you're not already focussed in an editable field. In pgAdmin, that doesn't help much in cases like this, when you're likely editing a query. > 2. in the world of software shortcuts, the needs of dependent applications > such as pgadmin might not have been foreseen, but is there in the hierarchy > a moral obligation to keep a certain subset of combinations free?

Yeah, you'd think there should be some moral obligation, but you're right - it is a free for all. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake
