Description:
Previously (prior to version 5.2.41), Ctrl + Enter used to execute the current statement where the cursor is, no matter the position, start/end or middle of the statement.

With 5.2.41, it either executes the last query in the editor or if the cursor is at the beginning of the query (line), then it executes that query. 

This is a sudden change in bahavior and fans like me who are used to Workbench find it confusing to adapt to the change.

Please give us an option to update the behavior for Ctrl + Enter in the 'Preferences' menu.

How to repeat:
Write few simple querious in the query editor, say :

desc table; [cursor is here]

desc table2;

truncate table;

Hit 'Ctrl + Enter' and you will see that table is truncated instead of a description of the table being displayed! I am hoping this is a simple configuration fix. Please let us change this behavior in preferences. 

Thank you!

Thank you for the problem report.

Fixed as of the upcoming Workbench 5.2.43, and here's the changelog entry:

 On Microsoft Windows, the behavior of "Control" +
 "Enter" was changed back to the previous
 behavior, which is to execute the statement that
 contains the cursor, instead of the last statement 
 in the SQL editor, or the current statement if the 
 cursor is at the beginning. 

Thank you for the report.
