When I am editting data in the "edit top 200 rows" tab, I frequently press 'shift+space' as I am entering capitalized data, which kicks me out of edit mode. This is extremely annoying, and reduces my typing speed to around ~10% of normal. Is there any way to disable this shortcut in SQL Server Management Studio 2008?
Nope. This bug was closed as "won't fix" about two years ago (not enough people cared, I guess - only one person voted aside from me):

Of course my suggestion is to use UPDATE statements rather than the quirky Edit Top n grid, which has several other problems in addition to this one.
