Settings
Open it with the Settings button in the toolbar, or from quick search under Tab.
The Settings screen has two tabs: Preferences and Shortcuts. Preferences opens first.
Theme colors are not on this screen.
They live in the theme builder, which opens from the Theme button in the toolbar and is only there when the host turns it on with enableThemeBuilder.
Relationship DataType Sync
Determines whether to synchronize data types. It is on by default. Changing a column's data type then applies the same type to every column joined to it by a relationship, following the chain from both ends, so a foreign key never drifts from the key it references.
Save Scroll Information
Determines whether the view position is saved in the document. It is on by default. With it off, the document is written with the view origin reset, so it opens on the diagram rather than where you left it.
Save Zoom Information
Determines whether the zoom level is saved in the document. It is on by default.
With it off, the document is written at 100%, so it opens unzoomed.
Maximum Comment Width
Specifies the maximum width of the comment column in pixels (60 ~ 200).
Turning the switch off removes the limit, and the input is disabled while it is off.
Turning it on starts at 60px. A value typed outside the range is clamped to the nearest end.
Recalculation Table Width
Press Sync to recalculate the width of every table and column cell to fit its current text, and to redraw the relationship connectors around the new sizes.
A Recalculated table width toast confirms it.
Widths are recalculated on their own whenever a document is loaded, so this is only needed when a font or rendering change has left them stale.
Adjusting Column Order
Sets the display order of columns in tables.
Drag a row to move it — the whole row is draggable, and the grip icon marks it. The seven rows, in their default order, are Name, DataType, Not Null, Unique, Auto Increment, Default, and Comment.
A cell hidden by a table view option keeps its place in the list, so the order applies to whichever cells are shown.
Shortcuts
The Shortcuts tab is a read-only table of Command and Keybinding, listing the bindings for the platform you are on.

| Remove Table, Memo | Ctrl + Backspace, Ctrl + Delete | ⌘ + Backspace, ⌘ + Delete |
| Remove Column | Alt + Backspace, Alt + Delete | ⌥ + Backspace, ⌥ + Delete |

Most of these fire on the ERD tab only, and they are held back while quick search, table properties, the diff viewer, the Auto Layout preview, or time travel is open.
Search and Stop are the exceptions: Search toggles quick search from any tab, and Stop is what closes quick search, table properties, the diff viewer, the Auto Layout preview, time travel, and the theme builder.
Zoom In, Zoom Out, and Zoom Reset also zoom the Visualization tab, in Graph and Flow alike, unless quick search is open.
On the Visualization tab, Stop also closes the row display menu and cancels a Flow layout that is still running; it does not widen a view narrowed with Focus on this table.
Focus on this table opens the Visualization tab in Flow, narrowed to the selected tables and every table one relationship away, and does nothing when no table is selected — see Focusing on Tables.
Select All Table, Memo and Hand Tool give way to a caret: while you are editing a cell, Ctrl + A selects the text and Space types a space.
Copy and paste are the browser's own Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V (Windows/Linux) or ⌘ + C and ⌘ + V (Mac), so they are not in this list — see Table Editing.
Bindings cannot be changed from this tab.
A host embedding the editor remaps them with setKeyBindingMap, except Editing, Stop, Search, Undo, Redo, Zoom In, Zoom Out, and Zoom Reset, which are fixed.
