To the right of the query area are the action buttons. The button executes any queries in the query area, whereas the button ceases execution.
If you click the down arrow below the button, there are three potential execution options:
(Ctrl+Enter): This executes the query and displays the results in the currently active result area.
(Ctrl+Shift+Enter ): This executes the query and displays the results in a newly created result area.
(Ctrl+Alt+Enter ): This splits the result area horizontally and then displays the query results in the lower half of the result area.
To the right of the action buttons is the status indicator. The status indicator shows the standard MySQL logo when the MySQL Query Browser is idle, and displays an animated logo when the MySQL Query Browser is busy processing a query. Both icons can be seen in the following illustration:
