Comment on Beekeeper Studio SQL editor 4.0 – Import. backup, restore, and bigquery

Comments

Biggest issues for me: Subscription based payments and (biggest issue) missing option to adjust the keyboard shortuts. So I have to adjust my workflow and muscle memory to the tool instead of the other way around. For the rest it is a very nice looking client with a good amount of features (for my use case) and hats off to the developers.

In case the developers are watching, I love beekeeper and use the free version daily. If you sold a one-time license, even if it was just for the current major version, I’d gladly pay $100 for that.

Hey! Well I do, sort of. It's a subscription, but if you buy it for one year, then cancel you get to use the app forever.

The downside is you only get 1 year of software updates, but that's the case with most 1 year purchases.

Almost all Electron-based software has a guilt of shortcuts. By either not having them at all, or by using the scheme alien to a particular OS. Obsidian is my personal pit peeve - it still has a spotty support of F2 (rename) shortcut on Windows. Previously, it hadn't it at all.

Thank you!

Some sort of keyboard shortcut settings screen is my todo list. Honestly it's a total PITA because different libraries handle shortcuts in different places, so I've been putting it off.

My focus after 4.0 is tidying up this type of stuff :-).
