Does anyone know how to disable the intellisense in sql prompt? I only want to do this temporarily. I have a very long list of parameters and I need to add an @ at the beginning of a LOT of lines. Being forced to hit escape each line is really obnoxious. It would be really spectacular if there was a feature to temporarily completely disable all intellisense both sql prompt and the native one.

Ctrl-Shift-P for SQLPrompt (enable suggestions in the menu). Not sure about the native.

- Align all the parameters
- Position my mouse pointer at the start of the parameter list
- ALT-Click, and drag the mouse to the end of the list
- Type the @
- Click elsewhere ....
Exactly what I was about to suggest, AKA block editing.

OMG this is brilliant. I had no idea you could do this. Just saved me 20 minutes of agonizing keystrokes. Thanks!!! No need to disable intellisense at all.

You can also do the above but instead of the mouse you can do SHIFT+ALT+DownArrow if you start with the first parameter at the top of the list or SHIFT+ALT+UpArrow if you start at the bottom of the parameter list.

I use the ALT trick often.
Hold Shift+ALT and you can make a vertical selection. by downarrowing. You can type something in there. ALT+Click works with the mouse.

Being a keyboard guy I prefer this but honestly either one is a huge time saver. Gosh I feel so embarrassed I didn't know this was possible.

Don't be. It came in VS, and I learned it years ago (2010? 2012?), but forgot. I had to look it up, but not I'll use it to move commas periodically and then remember it. It feels more useful in C# than T-SQL, but maybe that's me.

I don't believe there's a shortcut for it in native SSMS. It's an option under Text Editor...Transact-SQL...IntelliSense.

I use it all the time and love it. It's one of the great time-savers. It also lets you select a "column" of 0 characters wide.

I cover this (and more) in my presentation at the 2016 PASS Summit. You can see it at http://www.pass.org/Learning/Recordings/Listing.aspx?category=conferences# - Just search for "SSMS".

As a dotnet guy I feel I should have known this. I have actually used this trick about 7-8 times already in t-sql within the last couple hours.

Does it sound weird that I learned it in SSMS before even trying it in .NET? 😉
