Hi,
Question:
In SQL Server Management Studio 2008 and 2008 R2, the shortcut key Ctrl + R will hide and display the result pane. It was very helpful to improve the productivity.
However in SSMS 2012 when we press Ctrl + R it is not hiding / displaying the results pane, instead there is message displaying in the status bar stating (Ctrl + R) was pressed Waiting for second key of chord…
Answer:
In SSMS 2012 also the same shortcut key is available to improve the productivity. However post installation, we need to manually set the shortcut key. I hope this will get resolved in future versions.
Below is the workaround to resolve this issue:
Go to Menu –> Tools –> Options
Expand Environment –> Keyboard –> Keyboard
In the Right Pane list window, scroll down and select Window.ShowResultsPane
From the dropdown “Use new shortcut in:”, select “SQL Query Editor”
Keep the cursor in “Press Shortcut Keys” text box and press Crtl + R.
Click Assign and then click Ok.
The above steps can fix this issue.
Thanks,
Selvaraj M.
