In SSMS, when editing a row of data in a table, you can press Ctrl+0 to enter a null in the current cell. Is there any shortcut for entering the current date in a cell?

...but if you are still allowing nulls, you have to delete `NULL` from the column.

That hotkey is Ctrl+9, but you can make it anything you want. ^ for ctrl, ! for alt, and + for shift. {F1} etc. for function keys.

A: 

This page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175917.aspx has the shortcut documentation for the SQL Table Editor.

Under "Results Pane" it specifies the available shortcuts including "Enter null into a cell: CTRL+0". There are no other shortcuts listed that would do what you wish, so I would say you're out of luck with any easy out of the box trick.

Thanks - I suspected that was the case.
