After I upgraded to SSMS I r

Answer 1

Right-click the Toolbar -> Customize -> Commands -> Reset All -> (I recommend re-start of SSMS) This worked for me in ms sql 2012

Answer 2

I tried the solution marked as answer and it didn't work with me. I even tried to uninstall the SSMS and install it back. Nothing was fixed.

Finally I went to the uninstall a program in control panel to see what did I have recently installed, and Voila, "TinyTake" by MangoApps was holding the CTRL+R combination.

I killed the process and everything went back to normal. So finally I went to "Startup" in task manager and disabled it.

Answer 3

I have checked it on my SSMS2012 and it works, but I have clean install. The reason might be the upgrade from 2005. You can try re-setting the shortcuts/toolbar settings by

Right-click the Toolbar -> Customize -> Commands -> Reset All -> (I recommend re-start of SSMS)

If it will not help try to assign Ctrl+R to "Window.ShowResultsPane" command. I develop an add-in for SSMS - SSMSBoost, it has lots of good features and one of small ones is dumping all registered Commands with their shortcuts. So, on my machine I found out Ctrl+R to be registered in following contexts to same command:

SQL Query Editor::Ctrl+R    Window.ShowResultsPane
MDX Query Editor::Ctrl+R    Window.ShowResultsPane
DMX Query Editor::Ctrl+R    Window.ShowResultsPane
XMLA Query Editor::Ctrl+R   Window.ShowResultsPane

SSMSBoost will also allow you to re-assign the shortcut to these values, or you can use native SSMS2012 keyboard shortcut editor.
