I just upgraded from SSMS 2005 to 2012. Previously, I could hit CTRL+R and the Query Results windows would disappear.
After I upgraded to SSMS I ran a query and, out of habit, hit CTRL+R. Nothing happened. At the bottom of SSMS I noticed that the status bar was reporting "(Ctrl+R) was pressed. Waiting for the second key of chord..."
After checking out the details of this keyboard shortcut in the MSDN documentation, I found out that CTRL+R was suppose to hide the resulting window as I had suspected. However, my SSMS isn't behaving as documented.
Is there a way that I can restore this keyboard shortcut to hide my Query Result window?
If we just use Ctrl+R we can toggle between showing and hiding the results pane and therefore you can see more of the Editor section when you are using SQL Server Management Studio.
Go to the Tools Menu in SSMS and Select Options. Select Keyboard section under the Environment tab. Select "Default" from the drop down under "Apply the following additional keyboard mapping scheme". Click Reset.
That should solve your issue. If not please add a comment to this thread with details about your issue.
