Workspace & tabs
Open multiple tables as tabs; your workspace is restored on relaunch.
Tablyne is tab-based: each table you open becomes a tab, and your set of open tabs is part of your workspace, restored the next time you launch the app.
The welcome screen
When no tabs are open, Tablyne shows the welcome screen with quick actions:
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Create table | Ctrl+N |
| Find table | Ctrl+T |
| Settings | Ctrl+, |
It also shows your current connection (profile + region) and an Add profile button. If you have no profiles yet, the screen nudges you to add one. You can switch the interface language from here too — see Language.
Opening tables as tabs
Open a table by clicking it in the table list, choosing Open in new tab from its right-click menu, or picking it in the global table finder. Each open table gets a tab in the tab bar beneath the connection bar.
Working with tabs
The tab bar shows every open table. Tab names are truncated with the full name on hover.
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Activate a tab | Click it |
| Close a tab | Click the ✕, or middle-click the tab (Chrome-style) |
| Close active tab | Ctrl+W |
| Next / previous tab | Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab |
| Jump to tab N | Ctrl+1 … Ctrl+9 |
See the full list in Keyboard shortcuts.
Refreshing
Refresh is contextual and never reloads the webview (which would wipe your connection, tabs and scroll position):
| Shortcut | Scope |
|---|---|
| F5 or Ctrl+R | The active tab’s data / schema / entities |
| Ctrl+Shift+R | Everything — table list plus every mounted query |
Workspace restore
Tablyne saves your workspace — current profile, region, open tabs and which tab is active — to local storage as you work. On the next launch it restores that session, but only when the saved workspace matches the profile and region Tablyne auto-connects to. If you’d be connecting to a different account or region, the saved tabs would be meaningless, so they aren’t restored. This keeps restored tables pointing at the data you actually expect.
The sidebar width is persisted separately, so the layout you set sticks between sessions.
Staged edits and switching connections
Edits you make in the data grid are staged in the tab until you save them — see Staged edits. Because switching profile or region resets every tab’s staging, Tablyne warns you before discarding unsaved staged changes when you change the connection or jump to a table in another account via the finder. Saved data is never touched by this prompt.
Other workspace surfaces
A few tools open as their own panels alongside your tabs rather than as tabs:
- The command palette (Ctrl+K) for jump-to-anything.
- Backups and Streams panels.
- Table settings and the add-profile dialog.
