Does anyone know how to close the object explorer pane via a keyboard shortcut?

I have searched high and low, tried every key combination I could think of.

F8 opens but does not toggle.

Auto-close is too slow. If I could speed that up a bit it would be better, but as it is it interferes with my typing.

Thanks...

F8 will toggle it to SHOW / HIDE the object browser

Do you have a service pack that I don't?

F8 does not close it.

Try re-installing your Query Analyser ?
F8 will toggle the browser pane. Don't think it is due to Service Pack

Oh...wait...I forgot to mention I was using Management Studio, not Query analyzer...

Gee thanks Microsoft for changing the behaviour of my most beloved function key.
