F8 to open object explorer. How to close?

You can use the F8 key to open object explorer. How do you close it with keyboard shortcut?

Unfortunately, it doesn't toggle closed (like in QA).

However, you can set the 'Auto-Hide' property to True and it will 'mostly' disappear when not in use.

F7 Key : Summary -> Object Explorer Details

Hi,

Where is the F7 key that in the past showed the Summary?

The Summary has been changed to 'Object Explorer Details' but is no more accessible by pressing the F7 key :-(

Why did you do that MS ?

You can set your keyboard scheme as that of Sql 2000. Go to Tools -> Options. Select Environment -> Keyboard and then choose the 'SQL Server 2000' Keyboard scheme.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Kuntal
