The option Format SQL for setting the user default profile was added. This will implement the active formatting profile saving a mouse-click of having to select a specific profile each time
To set the active profile in the Format SQL option, go to Options dialog. From the Profile drop down box, choose user defined or one of the for built-in profiles, and click the Set as active button. By default, the ApexSQL profile is set:
