Quick Navigator
Starting with v0.13.0, Tabularis includes a Quick Navigator — a search overlay for jumping to any schema object of the active connection, in the spirit of the "go to anything" palette every code editor has.

Opening It
Press ⌘+P (macOS) or Ctrl+P (Windows/Linux) while a connection is open. The shortcut is customizable from Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts under the Navigation category — see Keyboard Shortcuts.
What It Searches
The navigator filters tables, views, routines, and triggers as you type, using typo-tolerant fuzzy matching — a misspelling like ordrs still finds orders, and the closest names rank first. When the overlay opens, Tabularis resolves and indexes all databases and schemas configured for the active connection in the background:
- A multi-database MySQL/MariaDB connection is searched across every selected database.
- A multi-schema PostgreSQL connection is searched across every visible schema.
Results are grouped under separator headers by database/schema, so users in app_prod and users in app_staging are unambiguous.
Quick Actions
Hover any result to reveal inline actions:
| Action | Available on | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Inspect Structure | tables | Opens the structure modal with columns, types, and keys |
| New Console | tables | Opens a console tab pre-filled with a SELECT * — without running it |
| Generate SQL | tables | Opens the Generate SQL modal |
| Count Rows | tables, views | Runs a COUNT(*) against the object |
| Run Query | tables, views | Opens a console tab with a SELECT * and runs it |
| Copy Name | everything | Copies the object name to the clipboard |
Selecting a result (Enter or click) opens it — tables and views run a SELECT * in a console tab, routines and triggers open their definition — and reveals the object in the sidebar: collapsed databases or schemas auto-expand, lazily load their contents if needed, and the sidebar scrolls the item into view.
Performance Notes
The navigator was built to stay responsive on connections with hundreds of tables: sidebar table items are memoized so only the previously- and newly-active items re-render, and the scroll-reveal retries until asynchronously loaded items actually exist in the DOM.
