I heard that there is a keyboard short cut to bring up the code of a SQL Server 2005 (Management Studio) stored procedure. This key combination would do the same function as sp_helptext.
This may only be an Urban Legend.
Thanks

The first thing I do after installing management studio on a new machine is to set sp_helptext to be CTL+F1 in management studio.
Tools / Options / Environment / Keyboard / Ctrl-F1 == sp_helptext
Then, i can highlight any view, stored proc, function, whatever – and press CTL-F1 and get the text of the object in my results window. Not sure if this is exactly what you’re looking for, but it definitely helps me to be more productive in the query windows.
