Using keyboard templates

The SQL editor used in AdeptSQL Diff has a customizable set of "templates" which speed up typing by expanding short abbreviations into one of the commonly used SQL constructions.

To use a template, type its abbreviation (e.g. "t" for 'table') and then press [Ctrl-J]. Below is the list of templates predefined in the editor, the '|' indicating the caret position after expanding the template. You can change or add templates at any time by using the Editor Options Dialog.
