I thought I had reported this one, but couldn’t find it. I did find these other peculiarities that I reported earlier this year:

Ctrl-N does work, after a quick “fix”.

In SSMS, go to Tools, Options. Choose Keyboard under the Environment node on the left, then change the “Keyboard scheme” to “SQL Server 2000″. Click OK, go back to Tools…Options and change the keyboard scheme back to “Standard”. Click OK once again.

Ctrl-N should now open a new query.

Yeah. And Ctl-N doesn’t work to open a new Query, and Ctl-Shift-M doesn’t work to fill in template values.

Which makes me feel that MS doesn’t love us DBA, at least not by our tool sets *shakes head*

In the new SSMS many of the shortcuts have been radically changed or just flat out removed. Wait until you try to use CTRL-N for new query (my favorite)…gone baby gone!!
