Change background color of current SQL statement in SQL window

[Michael C. Neel]

Hello,

I'm a new PL/SQL user after many years of using Toad. In Toad a Shift-F9 executes the SQL statement under my cursor and only that statement. In PL/SQL Developer F8 will execute all statements.

I've found that I can turn on AutoSelect Statement that will make F8 behave more the way I want, but the side effect is executed statement gets hi-lighted. This would be okay if the color of the hi-light wasn't so dark.

I've gone up and down the settings many times and can't find an option to change this color. Alternately, is there another way in PL/SQL Developer to get the Shift-F9 behavior of Toad?

Thanks,
Mike

In preferences go to Editor then Highlight color

 

[patch]

And you can download and install my Execute Current Statement plugin fromhttp://bar-solutions.com
Kindest regards,

The Editor/Highlight Color does not changed the color of the recently run statement. By default this is a light green color and the recently run statement is a medium blue.

Michael - Go to Preferences and select Program Window. there you will see "Hot track highlighting".

I know it is under the Program Window, but it will change the color of the selected SQL as well.
