The output pane

Results appear in the output pane: the structure of a table after you change it, the rows from show data and after writes (as aligned, box-drawn tables), query plans, and command outcomes marked with a ✓ or ✗.

Use PageUp and PageDown to scroll back through earlier output. New output snaps the view back to the most recent entry, so you never lose your place when you run something.

On a wide terminal a sidebar runs down the left-hand side, listing your tables and relationships so the shape of your database is always in view. It shows and hides itself automatically with the terminal width — on a narrow window it stays out of the way and the output pane gets the full width.

Press Ctrl-O to bring the sidebar up at any size and step through it: the first press focuses the Tables panel, the next focuses Relationships, and once more returns you to the input field (Esc leaves it directly). While a panel is focused it widens to show more detail and is marked with a coloured border; / scroll it a line at a time and PageUp/PageDown a page at a time.

Ctrl-O brings up the schema sidebar and steps through the Tables and Relationships panels.
