Great tool. Any chance auto completion is in the works? That would really put this tool way ahead of anything else.

(eg. start typing "select from a..." and you get a dropdown list and can tab "Account" as you're typing, similar to SQL Management Studio .. or select N... from Account would show a dropdown list with "Name" highlighted that you can tab to autocomplete)

Hi Mark.  Thanks for the compliment!  Yes, auto-complete is a major enhancement that we are currently working on.  There is no release date yet, though.

No news yet that we can share other than we are working on it.  The recent effort to add Tooling API support to SOQL Studio consumed most of our resources.  Now that that has been delivered, we are focused on this.

Hi, I just wanted to suggest some logic for a good Intellisense feature:

 

1- If the user is typing directly after the FROM keyword then intellisense should start suggesting object names after the first 2 characters have been typed. This is assuming they are typing outside a comment block.

2- If the user is typing between [Line Start+ spaces]SELECT and the next earliest FROM keyword then

    2.1- If the user is typing directly after the SELECT statement or a comma then Intellisense should start suggesting field names after first 2 chars have been typed

3- When the user is typing directly after FROM [ObjectName] then intellisense should suggest keywords like WHERE, LIMIT, GROUP BY etc.

4- suggest field names in the WHERE clause and GROUP BY clause after user has typed first 2 chars

Hi Ibad. These are great suggestions and we will keep them in mind while developing the intellisense feature.
