SQL SERVER – CTRL + R Shortcut Does Not Work in SSMS

I just formatted my computer and installed fresh SQL Server 2014. The very first thing which I did was to open SQL Server Management Studio and execute a sample query. As soon as I executed the query, it returned me some result. Once I did not need the result, my next instinct was to hide the result as I did not need it any further. I am very used to the keyboard shortcut CTRL + R to hide the result. As soon as I typed in the CTRL + R the result pane was still visible. My pressing CTRL+R did not do anything further.

I suddenly remembered that last time when I had installed SQL Server 2012 I had faced the similar situation when a few of my shortcuts did not work. Here is what I did to make my shortcut work again.

Steps to Get Shortcut working again:

  1. Go to Tools Menu in SSSMS
  2. Click on Option
  3. Go to Keyboard and expand the menu
  4. Click on option Keyboard again
  5. Keep the option on the drop down – Apply the following additional keyboard mapping scheme as (Default)
  6. Click on Reset

… and you are done!
