You can also use the Quick File Open feature to open recent files as well as Bookmarks and History entries. How many recent files to keep track of can be specified in the Tool Properties dialog, in the SQL Commander category under then General tab. The File->Open Recent submenu lists the recently loaded files.

The name of the loaded file is listed in the status bar of the editor, with the full file path shown in the window title. Loading a file loads it into a new SQL Commander tab or activates the tab that already holds it. Use the standard file operations, Open, Save and Save As in the File main menu or the main toolbar to accomplish this. The SQL editor supports loading statements from a file and saving the content of the editor to a file. You can also change the SQL Editor font family, which is useful and necessary in order to display characters for languages like Chinese, Japanese, etc., in Tool Properties in the Appearance/Fonts category to set the font for the SQL Editor (see Internationalization and Localization (i18N and L10N) for more information). The editor uses the Tool Properties settings from the SQL Commander/Comments category under the General tab to detect comments. The SQL Editor Column Guide is an optional visual guide that appears as a thin vertical line at specified column (this works best if you use monospaced fonts). In the Appearance/Editor Styles category you can select colors for the different kinds of words, as well as the editor selection background color, the current line highlight color and the editor background color, and more. For instance, keywords are displayed with a bold blue font, while quoted text is displayed with a regular type red font. To make it easier to see at a glance what is what, the SQL Editor displays words using different font styles depending on their classification.

The SQL Editor is like any editor you're used to when it comes to typing, scrolling etc. An asterisk ( *) after the filename indicates that there are unsaved edits. If you just type into the editor without loading a file, the filename "Untitled" is shown instead. You can click on the filename to copy the file path or open the OS file chooser for the directory holding the file.


You can toggle this mode using the Toggle Typing Mode keyboard shortcut, by default bound to the Insert key.
