I have a Visual Studio 2013 Express. While editor was running some keys where pressed which activated tab symbols. Now each tab stop i can see a symbol(->).
Where can i find the option to disable symbols.
I have looked in Tools->Text Editor->C/C++->Tabs
You can use the following control keys to toggle between displaying the whitespaces
Ctrl+r, Ctrl+w
or edit the option under the Edit Menu:
Edit -> Advanced -> View White Space
You can refer to the keyboard shortcuts
Toggle this setting via menu Edit -> Advanced -> View White Space
or
Ctrl + E, S

I've found Quick Launch has CollapseRegions and ExpandRegions which functionality is actually what I need.
But I would like it to be toggled by key in like Ctrl+M,J instead of using Quick Launch like Ctrl+Q > CollapseRegions > Enter.
Is there any way to do that?
In Visual Studio 2017 :
Go to Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> Advance -> activate 'Collapse #regions when collapsing to definitions'
Explicitly to collapse all using Ctrl+M+O and for expand use Ctrl+M+X.
In my visual studio the dropdown menu of events does not appear, I add an image to show what should go:
How I can enable this menu, appears to me again?
Thanks.
You can show it again by going to the Tools menu -> Option then in Text Editor -> (You language) -> General check the "Navigation Bar" checkbox:
After upgrading to Visual Studio 2015, holding control while clicking on a symbol navigates to that symbol definition. In prior versions, this would instead select the entire word.
How can I disable the navigation event when CTRL + Click(ing) a symbol, so that it highlights the word?
I do have Resharper (Ultimate 9.2) installed. The configuration option under Environment -> Search & Navigation -> Go to Declaration on Control + Click in the editor is not checked.
All the search engine results make mention of this being a feature of the Productivity Power Tools extensions in previous versions of Visual Studio. I do not have that extension installed.
I found my solution in the "Options - Text Editor - General" settings. This was on VS 2017 thou.
To disable navigation to symbol definitions in VS2015,
this one worked for me.
With Resharper Ultimate 2016.3.1, I could fix the issue by disabling "Rich mouse navigation in the editor". It can be found in Resharper Options window, under Environment > Search & Navigation.
Maybe updating Resharper could solve the issue.
Also, Productivity Power Tools is not installed on my machine.
In vs 2017 this setting is available in Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> General -> Enable mouse click to perform Go to Definition.
You can uncheck it!
Go to ReSharper Options > Environment > Search & Navigation, then uncheck the following options:
Rich mouse navigation in the editor
Enable 'Smart go to declaration'
I finally solved it following the info I found on this page..

Ensure you are using Visual Studio as your resharper keyboard scheme.
Environment -> Keyboard & Menus
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard
To stop the go to declaration, select it and input a new key short cut for it. In this image I have demonstrated that I changed this short cut to ctr num 1 and could not change it to ctr num 3. On testing crt click does not no take me to the declaration.
Find the shortcut you want to remove, in this case Edit.NavigateTo and remove.
An update for Productivity Power Tools + VS2017. Instead of having settings for this feature, a separate plugin gets installed. So after installing PPTs, you'll have a new extension called Ctrl+Click Go To Definition. Not sure why we need that tool considering it's baked into VS, but...
Anyway, Disabling that extension (plus the other things mentioned in other comments for VS and Resharper) fixed my ctrl+click woes.
To switch to the Visual C# keyboard mapping scheme
On the Tools menu, click Options.
Expand Environment, and then click Keyboard.
Select Visual C# 2005 from the Apply the following application
keyboard mapping scheme drop-down list.
or you can do
Keyboard: CTRL + W
also plugin can be used
Keyboard Shortcut Exporter
you can import/export keymapping file
In my Visual Studio 2012 Solution Explorer, when I single click a filename it opens it. This was different from Visual Studio 2010 (required a double click). Is there a way to make double-click the 'view file' command?
This is called the Preview Tab feature. To change that behavior, go to:
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows
Then look for the "Preview Tab" section, and uncheck the options therein:
Option 1: Using icon in Solution Explorer
You can enable or disable the feature in Solution Explorer using the "Preview Selected Items" button.
The icon is a Tab aligned to the right.
Option 2: Using the Options window
You can enable or disable the feature by going into Tools > Options and then Environment > Tabs and Windows.
The Single-click opens files in the preview tab text mentioned in rubber boots' answer is missing in VS 2015. Mysteriously, a search for "single click" still brings up the Environment > Tabs and Windows option.
So for VS2015 and VS2017, either click the button in Vinicius's answer, or uncheck the Preview selected files in Solution Explorer box shown in the screenshot below.
In Visual studio 12/13, easiest way is to type "single click" in quick search and than select Tabs and Windows.
And in Tabs and Windows dialogue ,uncheck "Preview selected files in solutions explorer"
Shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Home.
If you press that in a document that was just opened, it will be opened permanently.
Item -> right click -> Open With -> Source Code (Text) Editor -> press Set as Default button
It's no longer there in VS2019. You enable/disable it through "preview selected Items" in Solution Explorer.
I have a strange bug in the Visual Studio text editor.
All my blank spaces are replaced by a "."
public class Person
{
int age;
}
looks like this
public..class..Person..........................
{..................
..int age;...................
}.....................
I reset the settings to default. Didn't work.
I also re-installed VS2008. Still didn't work.
What's the error?
Visual Studio is configured to show whitespace.
Press Ctrl+R, Ctrl+W.
If you are using C# keyboard mappings: (thanks Simeon)
Press Ctrl+E, S.
If you want to use the menu: (thanks angularsen)
Edit > Advanced > View White Space
Looks like you have the view white space option enabled. Go to Edit -> Advanced -> and uncheck "View Whitespace"
In Visual Studio 2012
Go to
Edit -> Advanced -> View White Spaces
Or
Press Ctrl+R, Ctrl+W
~ FOR VISUAL STUDIO 6 ~
use: ctrl+shift+8
to toggle on/off.
(or manualy go to: Edit> Advance > "View Whitespaces")
goodluck!
Works also for Visual Studio 2008, when
Tools/Options/Environment/Keyboard/Mapping Scheme: Visual C++ 6
is selected.
Please press below buttons in combination of
Ctrl + R,W
I had the same problem and resolved by pressing Ctrl + R , Ctrl + W.
In Visual Studio vesrion 1.34.0 View -> Toggle Render Whitespace
Press ctrl + E followed by S key to remove the lines in Visual Studio 10
go to File -> Preferences -> Settings, this will open two panels side by side, the left one is default setting and the right one is user setting, you can add your setting on right panel, for this you can add "editor.renderWhitespace": "all".
In visual studio 2015, goto->view->formatting marks, unselect show
In Visual Studio 2019, this can also be configured in Tools -> Options -> General -> View whitespace
