Quick Switcher
PressCmd+Shift+O (or Query > Quick Switcher) in a connection window to open a floating search panel. Type a few characters and press Return to jump to any table, view, system table, database, schema, saved query, or recent query. Matching is fuzzy: usr finds users and user_settings, and matched characters are shown in bold.

Keys
The opening shortcut is rebindable in Settings > Keyboard; see Keyboard Shortcuts.
Scopes
Four scopes limit what the search covers: All (Cmd+1), Tables (Cmd+2, includes views and system tables), Databases (Cmd+3, includes schemas), and Queries (Cmd+4, saved queries and recent queries). Round buttons beside the field set the scope; they show while the field is empty and nothing is listed. Once the list fills, the active scope moves to a badge in the bar. Click the badge to return to All. With an empty search in a scope other than All, everything in that scope is listed under section headers. The database list follows the sidebar’s database filter.
Saved queries come from your favorites and also match on their keyword. Recent queries are the last 50 entries from query history for the connection.
Ranking
With an empty search, the panel shows a Recent section: the last 10 items you opened through the switcher on this connection. With a query, each result’s fuzzy match score is weighted by:- Object kind: tables rank above views, databases, schemas, and saved queries; query history ranks last.
- Frecency: each item’s last 10 opens through the switcher, weighted by how recent they are, tracked per connection.
- Open tab boost: tables already open in a tab rank higher.
Open badge
Tables already open in a tab show an Open badge, and the selected row’s hint reads Switch to Tab. Committing switches to the existing tab instead of opening a duplicate.Option+Return forces a new window tab.
What opening does depends on the item: tables and views open a table tab, databases and schemas switch the active database or schema, and queries load into the SQL editor.
