What is the shortcut of the highlighted Line Up and Down. Like in the Visual studio.
I have SSMS 2014 and didnt find. Althought lad2025 said 2017 have this option in Advance
It is:
Alt + Up Arrow for Move Selected Lines Up
Alt + Down Arrow for Move Selected Lines Down
SSMS -> Edit -> Advanced:
If it is not available I would recommend to upgrade SSMS to newest version.

I am using Quick Find (Ctrl + F) in a query window of SQL Server Management Studio to find a plus sign. But the text box gets red border and a blue progress indicator running on the bottom.
It works instantly to find other characters. Only the plus sign is problematic.
I am using SQL Server Management Studio 15.0.18358.0.
It is enough to disable the option Use Regular Expressions (Alt + E).
So I messed up my sql server management studio when I was trying to make it have a "dark theme" as I use it a lot and it was starting to wear on my eyes. While doing this, I specified for the output window to have a black background with white text. Then I realized that the output window wouldn't give me a black background anyway, sigh, but it would give me white text. So now I have this lovely problem where there is white text on a white background that can only be faintly seen when highlighting the results...
It's very annoying. I know I was stupid to try to give SSMS a "theme" but I had to try something.
So now the problem. When I go back in to try to edit the settings for the output window (Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Output Window) to try to restore defaults or change any color, SSMS crashes.
Does anyone know how to reset all styles for SSMS, or change a specific style (like making text black again) or anything? I really don't want to have to reinstall SQL Server.
This is SQl Server Management Studio 2014
Had the same issue as you but found the solution.
Choose another option under "Show settings for:" after you reset the "Use Default" for "Text Editor" and before clicking on OK.

Just in case if you still haven't get your answer, you should be changing Grid Result instead of Output Window.
The format selection command isn't working in SQL server management studio 2008 for me and I'm wondering if anyone might know how to get it working. I don't know if it was ever working.
Do you have any add-ins installed? For me Ctrl+K, Ctrl+F brings up the SSMS Tools Pack find dialog. So perhaps this is happening because an add-in has taken over the keyboard combo.
Also, what is your keyboard scheme under Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard? If this has been switched to "SQL Server 2000" you might try switching it back to Standard.
Finally, I believe there are cases where the keyboard shortcuts can get messed up depending on the co-existence and order of install for Visual Studio / BIDS etc.
IN SQL SERVER 2014
First do: Ctrl +K
Then: Ctrl+ Y
I know this post is really old, but for people searching for answers to this question I have this to add:
The Ctrl+K, Ctrl+F key combination for format code comes from poorsql.com. They have a SSMS/Visual Studio plugin. As of this date they currently support up to SSMS 2017.
This feature isn't available on SQL Server Management Studio.
There are various add-on's you can use to do this. I personally use ApexSQL. It gives you the option to create your own format template, so that your code is always easily readable for you.

...You can select specific lines and hit CTRL+K
followed by CTRL+C to comment it out and
CTRL+K followed by CTRL+U
to uncomment it out...
The SQL Server Management Studio Object Explorer menu disappeared. The shortcut F8 and the view->object explorer method neither do anything. I have clicked everything on the keyboard, googled around, but nothing.
I really need this back, it's a massive hassle having to navigate through the summary window without the object explorer tree view!
I just had this, and the menu option...
Window > Reset Window Layout
...worked a treat.
I have seen this same problem when double-clicking on a SQL file when SSMS is not already open. When this happens, an SSMS console gets opened automatically, but none of the windows are present, and some of them cannot be enabled. To avoid this, simply open SSMS first, and THEN click on the SQL file you were trying to open.
Tools --> Options --> Keyboard --> Keyboard --> Top Drop Down list click change from (Default) to the other one such as Visual Studio 2010 Compatible. Click ok.
After this options settings is edited and F8 is pressed the object explorer will open.
Stellar question. One option is to edit the Keyboard Options within SQL Server Management Studio.
Hope that helps people!
[Windows] -> [Auto Hide] helped me
Are you sure it isn't actually somewhere else on screen (i.e. has been clicked and dragged somewhere else?)
Background: I'm using SQL Server Management Studio 2008 and I have a query window open that contains multiple queries.
Is there a keyboard shortcut that will allow me to execute a single query without highlighting the query I would like to run first? Some other SQL tools have shorcuts that run the query that is under the cursor, which keeps the hands on the keyboard, and away from the mouse.
I did some searching and was unable to find any keyboard shortcuts for executing individual lines in SSMS. There is a reference online though.

Personally I just highlight the row in question (Shift + End or Shift + ↓, etc.) and hit F5.
Ctrl + E works just as well on a Mac.
The usual Shift + Arrow or Shift + PgUp / PgDown that apply to most or all Windows apps...
Then I use Ctrl + E to execute
Highlight the query you want to run, then F5.
Since this was originally asked, DevArt has added this functionality to their SSMS add-on . After installation, press Ctrl-Shift-E to execute the statement block under the cursor.
This isn't exactly what the OP was after, but here are two related tips that might help:
SSMS 2008 had a handy feature where you can double click the left margin (where the line numbers are) and it will auto-expand your selection to the beginning and end of the query that contains that line. So, double-click, f5.
It also had a nice feature which was, iirc, alt+up/down or maybe alt+shift+up/down, which will extend your selection to the beginning and end of line for each line you move the cursor across, including the one you started on, regardless of where your cursor is on the line. So this is another handy way to select the query you want to execute.
SSMS 2012 did away with those shortcuts (maybe they exist, but they're not the SAME, by default).
With SSMS 2012 you can try SSMS Executor add-in.
Default shortcut Ctrl-Shift-E.
I just mark the line I'm on (Shift + ↓ or Shift + End), and then click Alt + X.
In SSMS 2008R2 with line numbers displayed, you can double-click a line number anywhere adjacent to a query to select the entire query that's part of that line. It's a great feature and I use it all the time.
Unfortunately the feature was lost in the 2012 transition to the Visual Studio editor. I created a Connect issue for this, which I welcome votes on.
A new version of SSMS is in development by Microsoft (kind of new version) it's called SQL Operations Studio.
With SOS (haha) you can hit Ctrl+F5, or — like me — replace the shortcut to Ctrl+Enter
SQL Server Management Studio don't have the feature to execute single SQL statement from the SQL script editor. even we create different shortcut still it doesn't work as we want.
I found a alterative for SQL Server Management Studio => DBeaver
, community version is free.
Download DBeaver
Select SQL server option to connect
Download connector if not already installed(Auto suggest, popup will come)
Shortcut to execute SQL statement/Single line query -> Ctl + Enter
To execute SQL script -> Alt + X
Ctrl k + u will high lite text
f5 to run
