I must have accidentally hit a shortcut, and am now getting formatting info in my code, and can't work out how to get rid of it...

Here is a screen dump.. http://www.assetmedia.com.au/editorStuff.gif

Anyone know how I can turn this off?

Many Thanks in advance!

Jason

UPDATE

Found it.. thank you Mike Henke for a blog post which I found..

The characters can be toggled with "ctrl + ." ..

Thanks Mike! http://henke.ws/post.cfm/toggle-whitespace-in-eclipse-cfeclipse-and-cfbuilder

Update, as per Ray Camden:

the key combo I had hit - ctrl+.

Choose Preferences from the Window menu and type whitespace in the search box. This should take you to the Text Editors panel where you can deselect 'Show whitespace characters'

  • Thanks Antony.. 'Show whitespace characters' isn't selected.. if I do select it and apply I get more characters overlaying the ones I already have, but I am still getting these characters even when 'Show whitespace characters' is not selected.. – Jason Nov 08 '11 at 01:40
  • Just re-read your Update there Ray.. found it as well.. correct ctrl+. does the trick.. thank you! – Jason Nov 08 '11 at 03:04
  • An update on this one.. I found that on mac it is Cmd+. (command + period) removes the formatting. – Jason Nov 06 '14 at 23:48
