Hello is there any way you can add the execute query when you right click on the SQL pane? I used SSMS for years and I keep right clicking to execute the query. If it could be added that would be great.

I don't think there's a way to do this without Quest Dev enhancing the product to introduce it.

However, what _might_ be even better/quicker is to invoke your execution via shortcut keys:  
F5 to execute Editor contents as a script  
F9 to execute the query that your Editor cursor is camped on

I've programmed my Logitech mouse's custom buttons for F5 and F9.

Hello everyone and big thanks for the contribution on this matter,
