Also SHIFT+F6. These hot keys are windows standard.

Good one, thank you for the post.

Agreed F6 and SHIFT+F6 - both works. But they are not the same.

F6 in SSMS is "move to the next pane" - [if the cursor is in the query pane, it moves ahead to the result pane]

SHIFT+F6 in SSMS is "move to the previous pane"

Try this: type "SELECT 1" in the query window, execute, you will see result pane and also message pane. Now try F6 and SHIFT+F6 to see the direction of the focus.

Of course, they just differ in direction (next/previous)! But if you are in grid mode with ONE F6 go to result pane, the same with TWO SHIFT+F6 (first goes to the message pane and the second to the result pane).

Thanks Hardik for question.

However with the introduction of new keyboard having fn key in place.Microsoft should also change their doumentation.

As here it would be (fn + f6) key would be the answer.

Strictly speaking f6 isn't a toggle

It will cycle through all open panes not just those two and if you don't have the results pane visible it won't show it.

You could argue that ctrl-R would better fit as an answer as that is a toggle and will show/hide the results pane.

I would agree, ctl + R is the correct answer.

Thanks for the question.

The options of fn+f6 and shft+f6 are great for toggling between the query, messages, and results tabs.
