Description
Implementing block traveling for the `SQL Query` editor of **Postico** would be a really nice feature, considering you've already implemented `Execute Selection`.
## What is the feature?
By pressing `Option + Up` or `Option + Down`, the cursor navigates to the previous/next block. By holding `Shift`, it selects the block.
This is similar to the [Atom plugin](https://atom.io/packages/block-travel), also ported to [VS Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sashaweiss.block-travel)
I think this would be a great addition to the `Execute Selection` functionality, especially when trying out different things in the editor.
Keep up the good work on the product!

Research direction
Start in Postico's SQL Query editor and review the existing Execute Selection functionality. Compare the requested Option+Up/Down navigation and Shift-selection behavior with the linked Atom and VS Code implementations. Done means the cursor moves between SQL blocks and holding Shift selects the block in both directions.
