Anyone who has used phpmyadmin‘s query window knows how frustratingly small the textarea is, and how difficult editing SQL query blocks can be. I wrote a Greasemonkey script to de-suck this query window. As of now, Greased PMA is version 0.1 and has the following features:

  • Automatic resizing of the textarea to make best use of the window size
  • Ctrl+Enter submits the query
  • Tab inserts 4 spaces into the query

Update: While messing around at home on Vista / Chrome, I noticed that Greased PMA partially works on Chrome. I wasn’t expecting this to work outside of Firefox / Greasemonkey, but Chrome has a similar extension feature, it seems. The textarea resizing works, but the Ctrl+Enter submitting query and tab modification do not work. Perhaps this weekend I will debug those two functions on Chrome.
