MySQLCC - irritating and dangerous key combination bug

SHIFT+SPACE will move you from the SQL editor pane into the Query result 
pane.

Try ...

select sensitive, data from very.importantdatabase where 
all_i_want='the_most_important_bits'

ok.. result in the output oane.

on the next line in the editor with the results still showing type select * 
from mysql.user

but when doing this remember to keep the shift key held down a tiny bit 
longer than necessary as you finish typing the * and start hitting <space>

Magic! You are now typing into your sensitive data fields and overwriting 
data beacuse you types SHIFT+SPACE instead of just SPACE. Of course 
SHIFT+SPACE normally does nothing in any application so why worry about 
it.. until.....

Shift+Space also causes MySQLCC to quit (segfault?) sometimes for no 
apparent reason. Seems to do this when the result pane has the output of an 
empty select (?)

Please defeat keybingdings to shift+space this is an excellent excuse for 
NOT using MySQLCC. The day you have to explain this 'feature' to your boss 
as the reason why someone's data is mangled is the day before MySQL (at 
least MySQLCC) is ordered to be removed from company resources...
