SSMS - feature

  • Answer to the question is incorrect. If you merely hold your mouse over the link, the true answer is that nothing happens. Now if you are holding the "Ctrl" button as well, the link can be opened in SSMS. That was not part of the question and therefore relegates the provided answer as incorrect.

  • I think question not complete and confusing too coz When you move your mouse pointer over the link, a message appears saying "Press CTRL+Click to follow the link"

  • This was unexpected behavior. I had no idea that web pages could be tabbed in SSMS.

  • I guessed the "right" answer, but when I tried it in a clean install of 2008, I had no pop-up or highlighted text. When I pressed CTRL, nothing happened unless I clicked on the hyperlink which opened the browser in SSMS. Have not tried it in 2005 yet...

    I have tested and retested my question and the results have been identical .... utilized Developer Editions of SQL 2005 and SQL 2008 as installed .... no modifications to the default settings.

    The results I obtained are shown in the attached images. The "Before" image is what was shown before I depressed the control key. The cursor was the typical I shape.

    The "After" image is just after depressing the control key and the cursor became the familiar "Hand" .

    If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

  • You don't need to have a commented url string in a proc to do this - just press CTRL-ALT-R on any query pane from anywhere, and woolaa, instant browser.

  • This feature can be handy...but I do wish we could choose our own browser.

    Your key sequence interestingly enough takes you to:

    Still you must be lucky to get the same behavior as bitbucket.

    Not sure really - I have just used this feature before, so recognised it in the question.

    That is a kind of luck, I guess 🙂

  • Nice question... Yes.. it worked for me with Ctrl+Mouse Click.
