Interface Overview

Seaquel’s interface is organized around a few key areas. Here’s what you’ll find in each.

The left sidebar shows your connections and schema browser. Expand a connection to see databases, schemas, tables, and views — each table displays its row count. Toggle the sidebar with Cmd+B (Mac) or Ctrl+B (Windows/Linux).

Query Editor

The center of the window is a Monaco-based SQL editor with syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and error markers. You can work with multiple tabs:

New tab — Cmd+T / Ctrl+T
Close tab — Cmd+W / Ctrl+W
Switch tabs — Cmd+1 through Cmd+9 / Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+9

Results Panel

Below the editor, the results panel shows query output in a virtual-scrolling grid. You can paginate through large result sets, edit cells inline, and export data to CSV, JSON, SQL, or Markdown.

The toolbar above the editor provides quick access to common actions:

Action	Shortcut
Execute query	`Cmd+Enter` / `Ctrl+Enter`
Format SQL	`Cmd+Shift+F` / `Ctrl+Shift+F`
Save query	`Cmd+S` / `Ctrl+S`
EXPLAIN query	toolbar button

Command Palette

Press Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) to open the command palette. From here you can search commands, switch tabs, change connections, and navigate to any table — all without touching the mouse.

AI Assistant

The floating AI panel lets you describe what you need in plain language and get SQL back. Open it from the toolbar or the command palette.

Canvas

The visual canvas is an infinite workspace where you can lay out tables, queries, results, and charts as nodes. Access it from the sidebar. See Canvas for details.

Status Bar

The bottom status bar shows your current connection, last query execution time, and row count.
