Keyboard shortcut to close a tab in SQL Server Management Studio?

Question

Is there a keyboard shortcut to close a tab in SQL Server Management Studio 2008? like Alt-W in Firefox.

Solution 1

The shortcut Ctrl+F4 should work.

Solution 2

I know this is old, but you can also change it to Ctrl + w if you want:

In Tools | Options | Environment | Keyboard

Search for Edit.SelectCurrentWord and change it to something else (Like Ctrl + B).

Search for Window.CloseDocumentWindow. Add CTRL+W as a Global shortcut

@Lance, thanks for you answer. It works, and it makes life easier.

In addition, after doing Alt-F,C you can also press N if it shows you a 'save changes' confirmation dialog.
