Hotkey for "Connect" on query tab?

[arvinyorro]

Any chance there is a hotkey for the connect button on the query tab?

Yes, please! This would be so helpful. Or add a command similar to the MSSQL extension for VS Code where you can select which connection to use.

I know this is an old thread, but you could create your own keybinding like in VSCode. When I press alt+c it brings up the connection screen as you would when you press connect. I was trying to see if I could add a connectionString in there to connect to a specific database but haven't come across that yet. But this seems to be similar behavior like VSCode.

// Place your key bindings in this file to override the defaults
[
{
"key": "alt+c",
"command": "azdata.connect",
"when": "editorTextFocus && editorLangId == 'sql'"
},
]

Oh hey @nocomputeruser, thanks for sharing this suggestion! It's likely the best option here, as different users may have a preferred hotkey combination.

That said, @arvinyorro, if you believe there should be a default hotkey in ADS for this, could you please file a request in the Issues tab (https://github.com/microsoft/azuredatastudio/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+)? I did a quick search and don't see anything similar that already exists. Thanks!
