Try Ctrl + Space. Sorry can't get any more detailed with this answer ;-)

How to Remove Unnecessary Line Spacing in Code Editor?

How can I get rid of the unnecessary line breaks in the Java code editor (see screenshot). This formatting seems to apply just to one project. When I create new projects, there is no extra line spacing.
Thanks!
I believe this is related to Inlay Hints. I had the same issue and it was driving me nuts, then after a restart a bunch of code hints showed up. While useful in the right circumstance, it was a bit baffling when all I could see were these ghost lines.
After disabling "Code vision" the issue resolved itself.
Go to settings (Ctrl-Alt-S), under Editor-Inlay Hints there is a checkbox for Code vision. Uncheck that and see if that helps.
This appears to be an issue with the 2022.1 version of IDEA. I had the same symptoms and downgraded to 2021.3. Poof, problem solved. Hopefully they fix this in a newer version soon.
This is indeed related to Editor -> Inlay Hints -> Code vision settings, but for me, it is the Code author option specifically that is adding the seemingly-needless lines.
It seems like IntelliJ creates affordance for the Code author value, but (for me) the value is empty so there is actually nothing showing.
I leave the other Code vision options enabled and just disable the Code author and this appears to be working well so far.

How do I disable instant syntax error highlighting in Visual Studio 2015

I got Visual Studio 2015 Professional several months ago. One thing that has irked me ever since is how the syntax error checking fires off immediately after typing, whereas in 2013 the error checks only happened after you have moved away from your current line of code.
This is kind of difficult to explain what I mean. Essentially, if I type a quotation mark every single bit of code below that point immediately switches to string and everything highlights as errors. Halfway through creating a variable, Visual Studio is highlighting it saying it is an unused variable.
Is there a way to turn this feature off? I have been poring over every options menu I can find, disabling options one by one and I cannot find a solution. I have also googled ad nauseum and searched for a solution but it is either difficult to search for or nobody else minds. I find this feature highly annoying because the editor is screaming at me before I have even progressed halfway through a line of code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Rather than referring another website, I would suggest simple solution below:
Tools >> Options >> Text Editor >> General >> Show error squiggles
uncheck "Show error squiggles" checkbox
Ok, maybe this link can help you.

Also You can change colors for that error highlights (cheat your mind),
look for the error color and choose one equal to the back color of the editor.

VB control styles change for unknown reason and cannot change back

For some reason while I program in Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express OR VS Express for Desktop my controls seem to change style for an unknown reason.
This screenshot is in the DESIGN part of my programming:
And here is when I actually run the program:
I don't understand how it can change like that, I've tried changed properties on all the controls, but they just keep changing to whatever style that is...
I can update with more screenshots if need be.
Thanks
Answer given via a comment:
Using Application.EnableVisualStyles() Fixes the whole thing.

How to get a Eclipse like hints in the MS Blend 4

Is there a way to syntax highlight an If - End If statement in VB.Net

I am trying to read through some code and it would be helpful if the editor in VS 2008 would highlight the If statement by using the cursor and double clicking the End If statement (or something like that).
I believe I could do something like this in Java using Eclipse - it was very good at highlighting a code block by clicking next to one of the curly braces.
Anyone know how to do this kind of thing?
I don't think this is possible by default in regular pure Visual Studio installation - statement blocks are not highlighted in VB.NET.
There are many text-highlighting plugins (like Visual Assist X etc.) some of them are free, maybe some of them provide this feature.
I use Expression Studio 3, in the code editor all the bloks have a visible indentation, I wish this could be in VS too...
I think that VS 2010 has implemented it so don't waste time on creating your own plug-in (unless you do it for fun...).
