I am soooooo used to SQL Server Management Studio; I’ve used it for more than 15 years. I love its interface wayyyyyy better than MySQL Workbench, but it’s not without its charm and I’m willing to change some of my ways to use it. But…
The thing that I find myself doing the most is pressing F5 and expecting something to happen; it never does. I could learn use Ctrl+Enter, like in the ElasticSearch Kibana interface, but F5 is just more intuitive for me.
So can I mold MySQL Workbench to my whims? Yes. Just follow the steps given by CodeLocker.net:
