Shortcut for converting star notation to a list of all table columns?

I've used other tools that had a keystroke that you could use after typing in a query with a X. in it that would expand the X. to a comma delimited list of columns for the table. For example, you would type

SELECT t1.*
FROM table_name t1

And then put the cursor after the * and hit something like shift-enter, and it would change the text to:

SELECT t1.id, t1.name, t1.description, t1.other_column
FROM table_name t1

Does HeidiSQL have this functionality? I was looking around for it, but couldn't find anything.

Thanks!

Not directly. You can alternatively select some columns from the currently selected table in the helpers box, and drag them into the editor:
