SSMS Tips and Tricks 4-8: Setting shortcuts for your favorite stored procedures
In an earlier entry, I mentioned how useful the F1 key is. On its own, it provides syntax help, but when you highlight an object and hit Alt-F1, you get to see metadata about the object.
Under the covers, this just runs the sp_help system stored procedure. Alt-F1 has been mapped to that.
You can see where this is configured, change it if required, and/or configure other procedures as well.
