Are the Warehouse SQL Query window documented keyboard shortcuts still supposed to work?

This is the documetation for the keyboard shortcuts for the SQL Query window for Fabric Warehouses:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-warehouse/sql-query-editor#keyboard-shortcuts

 

I'm using Edge.

 

Not counting standard text cell movement keys,

 

These do work for me:

New SQL queryCtrl + Q
Close current tabCtrl + Shift + F4
Run selected SQL scriptShift +Enter
Cancel running SQL scriptAlt+Break

 

These do not work for me:

Run SQL scriptCtrl + Enter
Indent increaseTab
Indent decreaseShift + Tab
CommentCtrl + K, Ctrl + C
UncommentCtrl + K, Ctrl + U

* The "tab" key inserts spaces to align to 4th column. Yes, it's a bit nit picking to say this isn't "Indent increase", but the spaces happen where the cursor is, so it doesn't always indent a line. And the indent decrease don't work since there isn't a real indent increase.

 

These are some random unlisted ones that work for me right now:

CTRL + USeems to move the cursor to the previous cursor postion
CTRL + I (upper case i)Engages Autocomplete at that cursor point (intellisense / CoPilot suggestions)
CTRL + LHighlight the entire current line. Additional presses add next line to selection.
CTRL + SHIFT + KDeletes the current row

 

So, my question is does the documentation need to be updated? Or is work being done to restore the SQL Query window to work the way it is documented?

HI @mikeburek,

I suppose this issue may related to data warehouse features release, and they affected the existed shortcuts key usages. (currently, this part hasn’t been removed from the official document, so I think fabric will be fixed these at the following updates)
