Answer 1

I use a workaround: I comment queries I'm not using. You can use CTRL-K, CTRL-C to comment the SQL you've highlighted. Use CTRL-K, CTRL-U to uncomment. That way, you can comment all other queries, and execute the one you're interested in with F5.

Answer 2

Easiest way to do this is assignment for CTRL + Enter combination for action Query.Execute in SQL Server Management Studio.

1. Open Tools > Options menu.
2. Select Environment > Keyboard page in left pane.
3. Find Query.Execute action and select it.
4. Set SQL Query Editor in "Use new shortcut in:" dropdown list.
5. Now type CTRL + Enter combination in press shortcut keys: textbox.
6. Click the Assign button.
7. Change Shortcut currently used by: to Query.Execute (Ctrl+Enter (SQL Query Editor))
8. Click OK. Done.

Answer 3

Ok, so what I'm getting from all these answers is "No, that is not possible."

Edit:

Here is how I was able to do this:

1 - Download SQL Developer

2 - Download the jTDS driver

3 - Follow these instructions to add that driver to SQL Developer

4 - Connect to SQL Server using SQL Developer (cool!)

5 - Run it and life is good

Answer 4

Use Ctrl+KU to select a line. Then use F5 to run it.

Although it only works for single line selection, still I find it quite useful.

Hope it helps!!

Answer 5

Somebody suggested this features on Devart dbForge SQL Complete (addon for Management Studio) , and it's still in the development stage. Let's hope that it's finished and doesn't get abandoned halfway through development.

Answer 6

If it's the having to move your hand to the mouse part that bothers you, you can hold the Ctrl down while hitting an up or down arrow key to select a line at once.
