Reset UI settings - rbellamy/dbeaver GitHub Wiki

Sometimes, usually after multiple version and /or upgrades/incorrect shutdowns DBeaver UI may become corrupted. Extra toolbar elements, missing menu items, broken keyboard shortcuts, broken localization strings and other glitches may happen.

To reset DBeaver UI just delete file file workbench.xmi in DBeaver workspace/.metadata. DBeaver workspace default location is in user home subfolder .dbeaver4. So default workbench.xmi file locations is:

• Windows: %HOMEPATH%\.dbeaver4\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.e4.workbench\workbench.xmi
• MacOS and Linux: ~/.dbeaver4/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi

To reset settings:

1. Close DBeaver
2. Open terminal and run del (Windows) or rm (Linux/MacOS) followed by workbench.xmi path.
3. Start DBeaver
