For example you may write prototype like SELECT * FROM some_table, then 
add fields instead of *. Then you get only fields from the table... or 
from tables participating in JOIN etc. Really worth to try it - just for 
curiosity.

Maybe it's my fault I was not clear enough. I though SQL Assistant is 
known app or you will check what is it.
This app hook to other app UI replacing/improving functionality. In case 
of PgAdmin, after hitting SHIFT+SPACE two popups appears, one over 
another: from pgAdmin and from SQL Assistant. Actually, the last one has 
possibility to change hotkeys, but as I already said, we are accustomed 
to this since it's most common hotkey for autocomplete/intellisense.
