SQL – Shortcut for Deleting a Line of Code

Here's a long shot: I think your Management Studio has for some reason changed the keyboard mappings to the 2012/2014 default setup, which is more similar to the regular Visual Studio apps. This changed as of SQL Server 2012 so, among other things, Ctrl+F1 now opens Books On-Line.

To verify if this is the case for you, you probably won't be able to execute queries using Ctrl+E or view estimated query plans using Ctrl+L.

I found a way to reset the keyboard shortcuts to the "classic" setup and wrote a blog post about it a while ago. The short version is:

• Open the "Tools" menu i SSMS,
• Select "Import and Export settings...",
• Select the "Reset all settings" option, click "Next",
• On the last page of the wizard, you have the option to back up your current settings. I would recommend you to do this.

Hope that helps.

Since there seems to be no way to define such a keyboard shortcut, I filed a feature request: https://redmine.postgresql.org/issues/1439 , which got rejected:

We follow the pgAdmin 3 behaviour in this regard - when you execute a query (or explain etc), if any text is selected, only that text is executed. If nothing is selected, the entire query (or set of queries) are executed.

Since amazingly with pgAdmin one has to login to view issues / feature request, here is a screenshot:
