Select columns from columns list using keyboard shortcut
When typing a select statement, the columns list is nice but to select several fields quickly I have to use the mouse.
Ideally, I'd be able to use the keyboard, I'd scroll down the column list and then press some keyboard shortcut (alt+enter, alt+space) to quicky insert one field, hit down arrow, alt+enter the second field. All without using the mouse

Today I learned Insert is a very useful key. I never knew !

Agreed. Space only allows you to pick one column... insert works for multiples though.

You can simply use Space or Insert key to select fields from the list.
