I feel like I’m just missing something. I don’t know how or why, but the open text query editor column is missing from Shopify GraphiQL App that I’m using in the backend of Shopify to test Admin API queries. I was using it perfectly probably an hour ago, and I’m thinking I accidentally pressed some button somewhere that hid it from view, but I cannot find out how to get it back. It’s usually in the same place as the Explorer, History, and Documentation column is; they usually just overlay it, but when I hide those, it doesn’t show up at all. I’m just looking at the empty result box. Help please?
Hi @AuRiseCreative try hovering your mouse right at the edge inside the “editor” like area on the middle-right; NOT in the border that will be the grab bar for the sidebar UI’s.
A rougher solve is to clear the browser cache, or deeper the local storage being used for the tool, though this can mean losing any queries you’ve built in the graphiql app.
Not even find(ctrl+f) really works properly here to focus the editor. Having an editor reveal key would be great but I can’t find anything relevant in the keymap doc with a casual look through.

Not sure if this should be treated like a bug, or a feature-request to a shopify support-advisor, or go further upstream to the actual graphiql project https://github.com/graphql/graphiql
THANK YOU!!! In the end, I clicked the gear icon to open the settings and pressed “Clear data” to remove all locally stored data and to start fresh, which did fix it but as you said, also cleared out all queries I had. I figured it was worth it since I couldn’t do anything anyway. Silly UI…
