Having spent a number of years working primarily with MS SQL Server (and hence SQL Server Management Studio for common tasks), I am now beginning to work with MySql. To date I have been using MySQL Workbench and am generally happy with it.

I would, however, like to be able to assign custom keyboard shortcuts for certain commands (e.g. commands from this list). For example, I'd prefer to stick to the MS-SQL approach of 'F5' to execute queries, rather than hitting 'Modifier+Return'. I haven't yet come across a simple way to do this. My questions are then:

  • Is this possible somehow in MySQL Workbench (e.g. additional plugin)?
  • If not, do any of the alternatives to MySQL Workbench offer this functionality?

Environment:

  • Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 32 bit
  • MySQL server version 5.5.24-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
  • MySQL Workbench Version 5.2.38, rev 8753

Cheers!
