Or whatever you prefer.
That is what those options are for!

Or learn how to use a TRANSACTION in PostgreSQL.
IE:
BEGIN;


​Personally, if I'm in a GUI I'd prefer buttons.  They both allow one to quickly see whether they are in a transaction or not (by greying out the buttons when their use is not applicable) and provide a mouse user a very quick way to commit/rollback the query they just executed via clicking the "run query" button.

This has absolutely nothing to do with "Auto Commit/Rollback" other than the buttons would only be meaningful when said option is disabled.
