About DBeaver and its shortcuts
DBeaver is the database tool that works with almost any engine, and its keyboard covers the SQL editor, the results grid and the database navigator. The grid commands are worth learning, because reading and editing results is where the time goes once a query is written.
DBeaver is built on Eclipse, so it inherits that platform's fully configurable bindings and some of its conventions. What is available can also depend on the database driver in use.
