Yes, the documentation does say CTRL + Shift + D however, as far as I can tell, this does nothing when using SSMS 2012. CTRL + D does change the output to grid - when the query is next executed. Also, if you go to the menu "Query-->Results To" it shows you the keyboard shortcut for "Results to Grid" which is "Ctrl+D"When I use CTRL + Shift + D on its own in SSMS 2014, nothing happens because SSMS is waiting for the second key of a chord (in the status line at the bottom of the screen you get the message "(Ctrl+Shift+D) was pressed. Waiting for second key of chord...".

I believe there is a problem with the documentation and in this case the question was meant for 2014 instead of 2012 as the question states. I answered for 2012 and discovered I was wrong though CTRL+D is accurate in 2012 and does work.
In SSMS 2014, if I use CTRL+D, it will toggle me from text output to grid output. CTRL+Shift+D does nothing for me. I think this is another one of those opportunities for a connect item with MS.
