MySQLCC - irritating and dangerous key combination bug

SHIFT+SPACE will move you from the SQL editor pane into the Query result
pane.

Try ...

select sensitive, data from very.importantdatabase where
all_i_want='the_most_important_bits'

ok.. result in the output oane.

on the next line in the editor with the results still showing type select *
from mysql.user

but when doing this remember to keep the shift key held down a tiny bit
longer than necessary as you finish typing the * and start hitting

Magic! You are now typing into your sensitive data fields and overwriting
data beacuse you types SHIFT+SPACE instead of just SPACE. Of course
SHIFT+SPACE normally does nothing in any application so why worry about
it.. until.....

Shift+Space also causes MySQLCC to quit (segfault?) sometimes for no
apparent reason. Seems to do this when the result pane has the output of an
empty select (?)

Please defeat keybingdings to shift+space this is an excellent excuse for
NOT using MySQLCC. The day you have to explain this 'feature' to your boss
as the reason why someone's data is mangled is the day before MySQL (at
least MySQLCC) is ordered to be removed from company resources...
