Reference
Dory keyboard shortcuts are optimized for fast SQL exploration: write a query, ask AI for help, run it, inspect results, and save the useful version without leaving the keyboard.
On macOS, use Cmd where this page says Cmd/Ctrl. On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl.
| Shortcut | Action | Notes |
|---|
Cmd/Ctrl + Enter | Run query | Runs the active SQL tab. If text is selected, use the selection as the query context where supported by the editor flow. |
Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + F | Format SQL | Formats the SQL in the active editor. |
Cmd/Ctrl + S | Save SQL | Opens the save dialog for the current SQL text. |
Cmd/Ctrl + Alt + L | New SQL tab | Creates and activates a new query tab. |
/ on an empty editor line | Inline Ask AI | Opens the inline AI prompt at the current line. |
/ elsewhere | Type a slash | If the current line already has SQL text, the slash is inserted normally. |
| Shortcut | Action | Notes |
|---|
Cmd/Ctrl + I | Toggle AI Chat panel | Opens or closes the SQL Console AI panel for the active SQL tab. |

/ types a slash instead of opening AI | Move to an empty editor line, or make sure focus is not inside another input. |
Cmd/Ctrl + S triggers browser save | Make sure the SQL Console page is focused. |
| Shortcut conflicts with OS settings | Change the OS or browser shortcut if it intercepts the key before Dory receives it. |
