Is it possible to use a shortcut for the showing or hide the line numbers at the SSMS ?
I know its possible to go to the settings and to do it.
But is there really no shortcuts for it? If I see it right, I cant even sets shortcut keys keyboards setting for it.
Its would be very usefull, if available.

No, according to the current documentation there is no keyboard shortcut to control line numbers, you enable or disable from the Options dialog (Text Editor > All Languages > General).

Using DBeaverEE as i type i get intellisense for table names but if I want to alias that table (I for example) if i type I then space intellisense is kicking in and changing it to some keyword. This is pretty frustrating but i don't want to completely turn off intellisense, anyone else have this problem and figure out a solution?
I think the easiest way would be to turn off the auto-activate on typing option.
Go to Window > Preferences > General > Editors > SQL Editor > SQL Completion
Toward the top of the SQL Completion page there should be an option named "Activate on typing". Uncheck this box and the editor won't activate intellisense until you hit ctrl + space.

I've got a pretty complex question for any Maya coders...
I want to utilize a drop down menu similar to that of the cmdScrollFieldExecuter's [script editor's] "Show Tooltip Help". It looks like a window that has been appended to the bottom of the inputted text with a feedback of all relative commands or strings.
Does anyone have experience with appending a similar textbox/ window/ menu to typed input, and if so, can you toss me in the right direction?
Note: I am not talking about "optionMenu".
Alternatively, is there a way to get cmdScrollFieldExecuter to reference a different array or set of strings?
A complete port of that won't be possible in vanilla Maya - You'd need to use python and QT because the built-in GUI objects (such as TextField) don't fire any events on keypresses so you won't be able to live-update as the user types.
You can almost fake the visual appearance with a window whose title bar is set to off. Use a formLayout to dock a TextScrollField inside it. You'll need to hack up some way of dismissing it since it won't have a close box -- you could put it on a timer or add an invisible button covering the whole thing which closed the window when clicked
I sometimes have a large amount of query windows open in SSMS 2008.
Is there a keyboard shortcut to navigate between open query windows? Go to previous/next open query window?
I know there is Ctrl+Tab that allows you to select a query window, but it's only helpful if you have named windows.
A challenge you'll find here is what does "next" really mean? Since you can tear off tabs, split the UI, even move tabs onto different monitors, I think "next" and "previous" lose a little meaning, unless you know what order they were opened in.
Anyway, some solutions, with older versions (based on when the question was asked) left intact:
SSMS 2008
Ctrl+F6 will switch between two most recent tabs. And honestly, Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab work like next/previous except you have to hit Tab twice (you can ignore knowing what the name of the tab in the list is).
SSMS 2012
Ctrl+F6 will cycle through open tabs in the order they are displayed, and Ctrl+Shift+F6 will cycle in the reverse direction.
Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab will open a temporary window and allow you to cycle through open queries in the order they were last opened.
In more recent decades
Ctrl+Alt+[Page Up|Page Down] will cycle through windows (as bridge_burner added), but there's a catch. This only works when the query window is active - and it will stop working if you get to a query window where, previously, you had an item in the grid selected, for example.
You can make your own keyboard shortcut, as Stuart Smith explains.
the equivalent of Ctrl+Tab in browsers for SSMS would be Ctrl+Alt+PageDown for next tab and Ctrl+Alt+PageUp for previous tab.
Here's my approach that get's me closer to coding utopia. Make sure you keep your SSMS query windows sorted by name from left to right. SQLQuery1.sql, SQLQuery2.sql, etc. These are the default names SSMS gives these tabs when you create them (by clicking New Query).
To change the current query window tab, press "alt" then "w" then "w". A window is shown listing all of your open query windows sorted by their names (which should be the same order in which you have them laid-out from left to right). Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the tab you want to activate and press enter. Your desired tab should be open now.
This allows me to quickly change query windows while keeping my fingers on the keyboard (less mouse usage).
I know this is a very old thread, but I thought I would add one more suggestion in case someone else comes across this: Redgate's SQL Prompt comes with a nifty "Tab History" applet that gets added as a button to a toolbar. I know that that means you would have to leave the keyboard and reach for the mouse to access it, but the interface and its functionalities are worth it! Not only do you have access to the currently opened tabs (with visual mini previews of the code in each tab) but also you have access to recently closed tabs (Yes, it may save you in case you accidentally close a tab without saving your work...)
Just my two cents. Best, Raphael
I found a way to map the browser style next/previous tab shortcuts in SSMS.
Select Tools > Options. Under 'Environment' select 'Keyboard'. In the 'Show commands containing:' area type 'Window.'.
Find 'Window.NextTab'. Toggle the 'Use new shortcut in:' to 'SQL Query Editor' then enter Ctrl + PgDn in the 'Press shortcut keys:' area and select 'Assign'. Do the same steps for 'Window.PreviousTab' with Ctrl + PgUp.
SSMS Keyboard Shortcuts Screenshot
On Windows XP, it was possible to disable the Start button with the following code:
hTray = FindWindow (TEXT("Shell_TrayWnd"), NULL);
if (hTray)
{
hStartButton = FindWindowEx(hTray, NULL, TEXT("Button"), NULL);
if (hStartButton) ShowWindow(hStartButton, FALSE);
}
For a public-access computer configuration, I need to be able to do this on Windows 7. The Start button must be disabled (not just hidden), and the remainder of the Taskbar must still be visible and usable. Hiding the Taskbar along with the Start button is not an option. Running full-screen is not an option. Using "Start Killer" won't work because it doesn't actually disable the Start button, just hides it (users can still use hotkeys to pull up the Start menu).
I have already tried the method that uses FindWindowEx with 0xC017 as its third parameter and then tries to disable that window. It doesn't work. That method only works if the whole Taskbar is disabled first. What I need is a method that only disables the Start menu, just like the code I reproduced above does in XP.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
The "correct" version for Windows 7 is as shown below:
HWND hStartBtn = FindWindowEx(NULL, NULL, MAKEINTATOM(0xC017), TEXT("Start"));
if (hStartBtn != NULL)
{
ShowWindow(hStartBtn, FALSE);
}
However, this only disables the button, meaning you won't get the glow or other effects by hovering your mouse cursor over it. You can still click the button region on the taskbar to open the menu. Apparently, the click handler is now implemented in the taskbar window itself, not as part of the separate Start button. That's why you have to disable the entire taskbar first, and consequently why most of the solutions you've found online do precisely that.
However, it looks like the "Start Killer" application now has functions to disable the most common hotkeys that trigger the Start menu, namely Ctrl+Esc and the key. You'll find those options by launching the software, right-clicking on its icon in the taskbar, and selecting "Options" from the menu. You can also edit the Registry to disable the Windows key, as described in this knowledge base article. If you wanted to implement this same functionality yourself through code, the only solution would be a low-level keyboard hook that trapped the keypress events that are responsible and discarded them.
Undocumented hacks like this one are given to breaking with newer versions of Windows. I imagine that Raymond Chen would chuckle and say something like "I told you so". Hacking the Windows interface is a fool's errand. Or, as you say several times in the question, "is not an option".
IS there anything in particular about the start menu you need to disable? You may be able to do the same via policy settings or various other file permissions.
Use one of the available group policies listed here.
You did not mention why you want to disable the start button. If you think about what exactly it is that you don't want your users to do instead of telling us the solution you picked for it (i.e., "disable the start button"), you might come up with a much better solution.
For example, if you want to prevent users from changing certain settings, block that, not the start button!
Or if you don't want them to see all the installed apps, hide those apps instead of the start button!
Or...
(I hope you see my point here).
I have a wpf application (I use CAL) for a tablet pc.
I created a custom text input panel.
Now is my question: How can I disable the default TextInputPanel?
This is only through my application offcourse because I still want the utility in my winxp and other apps on the tablet.
The problem is that when I hover to long near a textbox, the small tooltip to open a TextInputPanel always appears and I want to suppress that!
Kind regards,
Wim

Disabling the Input Panel UI
Setting the DisableInPlace registry key to zero prevents the Input Panel user interface (UI) from appearing in an application. You must place the DisableInPlace registry key at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\TabletTip. Then, add a new registry value by using the full path of the application in which you want to disable Input Panel. The following example registry entry disables Input Panel in an application called MyApp:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TabletTIP\DisableInPlace]
"C:\Progam Files\My App\MyApp.exe"="1"
(Finally) Found this info here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms812266.aspx
I don't like it that much (reg. editing) but at least it's a solution ;)
Kind regards,
