We have brought the multiple selection experience from your favorite Code Editor to TablePlus’ Query Editor. And it’s available on the latest official build of macOS version.

Here is the sneak peek of the multiple cursors:

Add cursors at arbitrary positions

To add an addtional cursor at a random place, select a position with your mouse/touchpad and use ⌘ + Click.

Add cursors to the next line

To add additional cursors above or below the current position use: ⌃ + ⇧ + ↑ or ⌃ + ⇧ + ↓

Select next instances

To select the next instance one by one, use ⌘ + D.

  • When your selection is a string, highlight the string and press ⌘ + D.

  • When your selection is a word, you can just put the cursor at the word and press ⌘ + D without having to highlight the entire word first.

Select all instances

If you want to add additional cursors to select all instances of the current selection, use ⌘ + ⌃ + G.

Escape multi cursors

To escape the multi-line selection, press Esckey.
