[sequel-pro] Auto-complete in Custom Query Tab

[Arnold Almeida]

Hi Guys,

love your app!

A suggestion.

The auto-complete in the custom query tab needs to be a LOT more
responsive.

I just downloaded the new build and if i type

"SE" it takes about 2.5 secs to popup the "SELECT" suggestion. that's
(at a minimum) two-four words behind a typical nerds persons wpm.

Other improvements could be..

auto suggestion of table names and if you alias a table.

eg "SELECT * FROM users u"

if i type

"SELECT * FROM users u WHERE u."

upon pressing "." it should show a list of fields from the users
table.

Anyway.

Keep up the good work!

Ive convinced all my mac pals to use it!

Arnold

Some good news - this is slightly configurable :) You can go to Preferences > Query Editor tab and change the "Autocompletion: delay by..." down to 0.5 seconds. You can also press "esc" at any time to pop the menu up.

This is harder - it requires parsing queries and actually understanding all the syntax - but it's on the list!
