Greased PMA – Stripping the suck out of phpmyadmin’s SQL query window

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

Click here to download Greased PMA version 0.1.

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.
