Ten Fingers, Zero Clicks

Keyboard shortcuts let you run, format, comment and navigate without reaching for the mouse, which shortens the loop between thinking of a query and seeing its result.

Reaching for the mouse costs a second and a little focus, and you do it hundreds of times a day. Ten Fingers, Zero Clicks is the muscle memory of a SQL editor used from the keyboard: run the query, format it, comment a block, move between panes, all without leaving the home row.

Learn shortcuts one at a time, a new one every week, and let the editor remind you of the ones you keep looking up. The saving is not the seconds. It is that the thought and the execution stay in one continuous motion.
