The query editor is a Monaco-based Cypher editor used to run queries against the selected graph. Query editor

​
Running queries

  • Click RUN to execute.
  • Keyboard shortcuts:
    • Enter: run query (when the suggestion widget is not open)
    • Cmd/Ctrl + Enter: run query
    • Shift + Enter: insert a newline

​
Query history navigation (keyboard)

When your cursor is on the first line or last line of the editor:
  • Up arrow: navigate backward through query history
  • Down arrow: navigate forward through query history

​
Real-time syntax validation

The editor parses your Cypher as you type with a full openCypher grammar extended for FalkorDB, and underlines syntax errors immediately.
  • The RUN tooltip reads Fix the highlighted syntax errors to run while the query is invalid, and running it raises a Syntax Error message instead of sending it to the server. Only runtime and semantic errors ever reach the database.
  • Hovering an underlined span explains the problem.
  • The quick-fix menu offers Did you mean…? replacements for likely typos, plus ✨ Fix with AI when Chat is configured with a model.

​
Autocomplete & syntax highlighting

The editor provides:
  • Cypher keyword suggestions covering the full openCypher keyword set plus FalkorDB extensions
  • Built-in function and procedure suggestions
  • User-defined function (UDF) suggestions
  • Graph-scoped suggestions (labels, relationship types, property keys) fetched from the server for the selected graph
  • Variables bound earlier in the query

​
Maximize mode

The maximize button opens a full-screen editor dialog with the same Run/Clear controls.
