JOIN keywords on the right of the tables.
+1000 That one drives me nuts!!! (ok I know it is a short trip)
NOT a fan of that format style either. At least ctrl ky fixes that.
Same with trailing commas. I dislike that practice but it is an easy one to fix with a little ctrl ky.
In case you are wondering, I dislike trailing commas because it makes it more of a pain to comment out a column if I want to test the results without the column. It also helps break up the list kind of like bullet points.
But what does ctrl ky do?
