How to minimize & maximize the output window in Oracle SQL Developer (the equivalent to ctrl + r in SSMS)
Is there any option available in SQL Developer?
In SQL Developer 17.4 (I believe in other recent versions too), when you run a query, the result is displayed in the "Query Result" window.
Right above the green arrow (which is displayed as the tab icon), in the upper left corner of the "Query Result" window, you'll notice two small black triangles, pointing up (maximize) and down (minimize). These two are what you're looking for.

Sometime I use VS code to split the same file left and right,
like keeping the left split on the general code flow while using the right split to navigate the APIs written on the same file(i.e. file1.c on both left and right split)
After I review the definition of an API (e.g. #Line 100) from another source file (e.g. file2.c), which mostly open on the right split, I use my mouse's macro key for a "Go Back" action, same as pressing "ALT+Left"
But everytime the cursor will not go back to the Line 100 in the right split of file1.c (where I press F12), but instead jump to the line100 in the left view.
Is there any setting I can change so when I press "ALT+Left", it can jump bank to the Line 100 in the right split?
See the Navigation Scope option in the Workbench->Editor section of Settings. Setting it to editorGroup or editor restricts the cursor navigation to the history of the current editor group or the current editor, respectively.
When executing a query on Oracle SQL Developer the result is text rather than a grid. I'd like it to display a grid, but I do not know how to display them.
That's because you're pressing F5, which is "Run Script" command.
You need to press green triangle at the top, or CTRL+Enter shortcut.
Anyone knows if there is a column editor function in Oracle SQL Developer?
I have to modify the same column in a large number of insert statement and it would be really useful to have a column editor.
To explain better which is my problem i am searching a function similar to Eclipse ones when you type Alt + Shift + A (How do I enable the column selection mode in Eclipse?), and it allow you to edit in one time a lot of columns.
There is something similar or i have to do it manually?
I am using 4.1.5.21 version.
Thanks
If you're using a newer version of Oracle Sql Developer (at least 18.3.x but perhaps before) there is an even easier way.
Simply go to the "Edit" menu and then choose "Block Selection":
Edit/Wrap Selection (enable it):

Just press Shift and move cursors up and down, etc.
Be careful to press Esc after each edition as it seems to "stick" or something and it keeps adding cursors and modifying where you don't expect it.
Trick: The multi-cursor is useful to edit several parts in the same line.
I read the answer earlier pertaining to my problem but it doesn't solve it. If I run a simple query to view a table, the script output would be in real time, it would come in line by line. I had it in a grid format but can't seem to get it back
At the top menu bar of your sql developer you have the first big green arrow "run statement", and next to it a document with a smaller green arrow, "Run script". The "run statement" should produce the grid view, while the "run script" will do the unformatted line by line view.
So sounds like you should be clicking the "run statement" instead, or you could just press "control-enter" on your query.
I have some kind of weird behavior in Netbeans. I guess I accidentally entered some key combination which messed up the cursor and selection behavior. In the image you'll see what I mean: normally, if you select text across multiple lines, you'll see the behavior on the right screenshot.
But I have the behavior on the left screenshot. Also, trying to insert text at a certain position with Shift, inserts it some positions to the right (= not where the cursor is). Additionally, when the cursor blinks, it appears dashed.
The fact that the selection in the left screenshot is drawn nicely doesn't make me think of a bug, but rather of a feature. I can't seem to find the key combination to turn it off again.
So my question is, what is this feature? Why does it exist and with what key combination did I turn it on?
One possibility is you have the Rectangular Selection plugin installed.
However, the more likely candidate is the rectangular selection feature in the editor core. Find the button on your edit toolbar, and toggle it off. As per helpful comments below, this can accidentally be switched on (and toggled back off again) using:
On Windows and Linux: Ctrl + Shift + R
On Mac: Shift + Meta + R
On Mac, if the above does not work: some folks have reported that Shift + Command + R worked for them
This key combination (Ctrl+Shift+R) is used to open types etc. in Eclipse, so when switching to Netbeans many people will get stuck with this.
