I have this same smoke test and it's one of the reasons we built "slash commands" into SeekWell (https://seekwell.io/). If you type "/show" (or even just "/s") you get a list of tables that will be filtered down as you type. Once you select a table it will autocomplete a SELECT statement and return the results. It also works for things like adding a WHERE condition. The goal is to make it so you never have to leave your keyboard, but also never need to type out menial SQL. Here's a 30 seconds video showing how it works.

DBeaver has some basic autocomplete that's frequently useful. Nothing super powerful but hitting shift enter(shortcut may be different off Mac) when on text pane at top of data tab will help you select cold easier
