Select Object in Object Explorer (Ctrl-F5) - Focus Issue

tonywaddle

Using Ctrl-F5 to select an object in the object explorer, for instance a table/database, doesn't apply the focus completely to the object explorer.

So whilst you can use the keyboard arrow keys to navigate through the items, if you press F5 to refresh the items it will instead execute the open query.

I'm not sure if this is intended, but it has caught me off-guard on a couple of occassions

Hi Tony,

Thanks for finding this! This isn't by design, it looks like a quirk of how SSMS handles keyboard input.

We'll look into seeing if we can fix this for the next minor build of SQL Prompt.

Best regards,

David

Hi Tony,

This should now be fixed in the latest build of SQL Prompt (7.2.4, which can be downloaded from check for updates inside SSMS or from our website)

Please let me know if this works as you'd expect.

Thanks,
Aaron.
