Description

Hello, there are several issues with the alt+x shortcut.

When you open a new sql editor containing queries and play alt +x, the queries are executed. If you run alt+x again, the queries are executed AND cloudbeaver asks if we want to close the tabs. It should just play the queries.
alt+x does not behave the same way in dbeaver. In dbeaver, it only executes the queries that have been highlighted. There it plays all queries from the tab.(it can be annoying in production when you're used to dbeaver :/) You would either have to make the behavior of alt+x identical to that of dbeaver, or add a new shortcut allowing only highlighted queries to be played.

Thank you !

Steps to reproduce

Open a new sql editor
Write queries
alt + x
alt + x

Expected/Desired Behavior

No bug with alt + x (played more than one time)
only run highlighted queries

CloudBeaver Version

25.2.2

Additional context

No response

Hi @valentintraen,

It’s expected for CloudBeaver to ask about tab closing every time.
The desktop version also has the same dialog, but it can be marked as “Do not ask me again.”
Unfortunately, there’s no such setting in CloudBeaver yet, but it will be added in the future.

You’re right - a more appropriate solution should take the highlighting into account.
We’ll fix this in one of the future releases.
Thank you 💙

Script execution (Alt+X / Cmd+X) has been added for highlighted queries only. These changes will be available in version 26.0.0, which is expected on March 2.

There are currently no plans to introduce a setting that would prevent the “close tabs” confirmation dialog from appearing again. However, we will keep this in mind.

We appreciate your contribution to the project 🦫
