title: SSRS Tablix Insert Row Keyboard Shortcut
body: <p>I have several SSRS reports to create for a client that need to have a table layout. I know that some people frown on using the Tablix only for this purpose, but trying to align rectangles and other controls is extremely time consuming.</p>
  
  <p>Many of these tables have over 50 rows (with multiple columns) and I constantly need to perform the sequence <strong>"Right-Click >> Insert Row >> Below"</strong>. This is extremely repetitive and I would like to know if anyone knows of a better way to accomplish the task.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to find a similar question on SO, in addition to Googling a possible solution, but I was unable to locate someone with my exact question that had a solution.</p>
  
  <p>One option I've tried was to create my own keyboard shortcut using the custom shortcuts in VS2008 options. There are four possible options that do not have a shortcut assigned:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>OtherContextMenus.RowColumn.InsertRowAbove</li>
  <li>OtherContextMenus.RowColumn.InsertRowAbove</li>
  <li>OtherContextMenus.RowColumn.InsertRowBelow</li>
  <li>OtherContextMenus.RowColumn.InsertRowBelow</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, I my attempt to map either of the four commands was unsuccessful. If these are the commands, and someone has successfully accomplished what I am trying to do, please let me know. If these commands do not apply to the Tablix designer, does anyone else have a solution that works for them?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> The main report on which I will be using this table only populates a couple textboxes at the top of the page. The table itself does not contain any data and is used to hold student's grades. The 50+ rows are categories that are graded and there are 12 columns representing the students in the class.</p>
