Keyboard shortcuts (Autocomplete) for Squirrel SQL

Question

I searched but could not quite find this information anywhere else. Could you list the best shortcut keys Squirrel?

I know it is possible to avoid a lot of typing with this feature of the tool.

The only one I know is to type SF and then press the spacebar. The result is SELECT * FROM.

@OP Please change the accepted answer to the top-voted one, as the currently accepted one does not answer your question. — zb226, May 10 '23 at 08:32

Go to the Menu bar: Session -> Syntax -> Configure auto correct / abreviations

Make sure that Enable auto correct / abreviation checkbox is selected. Here you can see the existing list and also add abreviations of your own ;)

Using the menu option "Session-Syntax-Configure auto correct/abreviations" you can specify your own abreviations. I like to add SCF as an abreviation of SELECT COUNT(*) FROM.

Not sure why this is an accepted answer. The link in the answer doesn't answer what OP was looking for. – Harish Dec 19 '18 at 20:30
