It would appear that the functionality to add shortcut keys in SSMS2008 is mostly implemented, however, I don’t seem to be able to shortcut key to anything.

For example,

Tools –> Customize –> Commands –> File –> New Query

Clicking on New Query and pressing the “Keyboard…” key simply opens up the Options screen. (In most MS IDE’s, this will facilitate shortcut creation.)

In Options –> Environment –> Keyboard there is a list of Query Shortcuts, but I don’t see any way to add shortcuts here.

Any thoughts?

    Go to Tools -> Options
    select Environment -> keybord
    from Keyboard Schema drop down, select “SQL Server 2000”
    select OK.
    Then again, go to that option and select back “Standard”. You will get Ctrl+N and F8 keys.
