So in SSMS I can use the shortcut [ctrl + shift + M] to populate these template placeholders. Here is an example of insert into table for ssms:

In MySQL Workbench, when I send an insert statement to the sql editor (just like ssms), I see the same template placeholders but I can't figure out how to edit them as fast as ssms. Does this feature exist in MySQL Workbench? For reference, here is a screenshot of the template placeholders in MySQL workbench:

The only way that I could find to move between the placeholders for the template parameters was to use the Edit menu's Select Next Placeholder option. This option can be accessed via the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+OemQuestion (which I took to mean Ctrl+Shift+?).
This option has the effect of moving the cursor sequentially forwards through the available placeholders (from the cursor's current position to the next placeholder in the query tab).
