title: SSMS 2012 Intellisense Behavior
body: <p>It seems like the behavior of intellisense has been changed in SSMS 2012 so that it does not behave the same as Visual Studio or SSMS 2008.</p>
  
  <p>Previously I would always hit SPACE, and that would insert the current highlighted word from intellisense. But in SSMS 2012 I have to hit TAB or hit DOWN ARROW then SPACE</p>
  
  <p>Here is what SSMS 2012 looks like as I'm typing a query</p>

  <p>If I hit space then this happens:</p>

  <p>In SSMS 2008 it looks differently</p>

  <p>And in visual studio</p>

  <p>In both of those simply hitting SPACE will insert the word. Is there a way to customize or change the intellisense behavior in SSMS 2012?</p>
