Remember Text Column On Newline

[andreas]

Hello, and thank you for the best mysql-interface in my 7 years of mysql-usage! Just bought the Enterprise version, and I just have one little request at the moment. When following the coding conventions of my company, the SQL queries have to be formatted in a specific way. I'm using SQLyog of course to create the queries, and it would be so nice if the SQL-window could remember the last tab (or space) position when you press enter.

So if I enter

SELECT

[tab]firstname,

And press enter, the cursor should end up on the same column as the firstname line (one tab up). Right now it always goes back to the first column. I always have to use tab to keep the formatting, and its a bit tedious.

Hope you understand what I mean. Thanks again for the excellent product you have!

Regards,

Andreas

I think I understand!

See attached picture.

Cursor goes to position 1 when you press and you want it to go to position 2. Right?

I think your request is a result of a not very typical SQL-formatting need. But for the editor of an IDE-programming environment, it is a must.

The editor in SQLyog is optimized for SQL and SQL only. Well … Let Ritesh have a look at it!

I have added it in the TO-DO list. We will implement it in one of the future versions of SQLyog.

Sounds great, thanks for listening. 🙂
