When I write a code vs2008 editor , and give space it typed "....." and when I give tab it shows arrow symbol.
How to resolve this to make it function as it does have.
waiting for your prompt and positive response
Thanking you
You have the View Whitespace option enabled.
To turn it off, go to the Edit menu, select Advanced and deselect View White Space.

In SSMS 2012
when I type "a." SSMS auto populates "ABS."
When I type "b." SSMS auto fills "basecamp"
When I type "d." SSMS auto fills "db_accessadmin."
and so on.
This auto fill is terribly frustrating when writing code, especially with joins. Obviously, there's some "auto complete" type setting beyond typical intellisense I have activated.
Anyone know what SSMS setting I need to change to eliminate the autocomplete feature? I do want to retain Intellisense where it fills regular field names. My peers are stumped too.
Thanks in advance.
I think I solved this. It appears to be related to "auto list members" feature. To disable
Go to Tools > Options > Text Editor > Transact-SQL > General
Ensure "auto list members" is unchecked
I found this via some hours of trial and error.
It is called IntelliSense, you can turn it on and off from the Edit menu (IntelliSense -> Toggle Completion Mode) or using the CTRL+ALT+SPACE (default) combination or in the settings of SSMS.
You can turn it on or off, there is no way (what I know) to disable only parts of it.
You may want to consider to install an SSMS plugin which replaces IntelliSense, such as
RedGate's SQL Prompt
Apex's SQL Complete
In SSMS query editor, I see these arrows,dots and square whereever I hit TAB,SPACE and ENTER keys respectively. I have attached the image to be more clear in my question. Can anyone please suggest me a way to remove this and get back to the normal view in sql server?
Sorry if this is a repeat question as I am not aware of the appropriate term to search for these
special characters
While your cursor is in the edit window, open menu Edit/Advanced/View White Space - this option toggles showing white-space characters (tabs, spaces, etc.) as shown in your image.
Those characters don't actually exist in your code - they're indicators of whitespace. The arrows represent tabs, the dots spaces.
However, this is not a "native" SSMS configuration option. It's not an option you can enable through SSMS's menus or settings dialog. You may have it switched on via a registry setting, or perhaps you have an third-party add-in/plugin installed which is showing it. If that's the case, you'll have to check the options of that add-in.
Apologies upfront if this is a silly question, but it's annoying me to no end and I can't figure it out.
I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Professional, and I usually code in C# where when using the Intellisense, when I press Enter to select a method or something it adds my selection and I can continue typing on the same line.
But at the moment I'm working on a project which is in VB.NET, and when I use the Intellisense in the same way it puts my cursor in the next line, i.e. I press Enter to select whatever, it adds my selection and starts a new line, so I have to press the Backspace to go back to the previous line. It's so annoying!
Is there a way to change this behaviour so the cursor doesn't go to the next line? I've looked at the settings available in Tools > Options but can't figure it out, and searching Google for anything similar hasn't been successful.
Found it here (paragraph List Members)
You have toggled to suggestion mode instead of completion mode.
You can also change to suggestion mode, in which only the text you type is inserted into the code. For example, if you enter an identifier that is not in the list and press TAB, in completion mode the entry would replace the typed identifier. To toggle between completion mode and suggestion mode, press CTRL+ALT+SPACEBAR or click Edit/IntelliSense/Toggle Completion Mode.
So, either use TAB/SPACEBAR (as I said in the comment) or press CTRL+ALT+SPACEBAR to switch back to completion mode.
EDIT: I've found out that whenever you type Stri (String will show highlighted in the list now) and you press . (dot) it will autocomplete and stay at the same line.
I think your way of doing this in C# isn't possible in Visual Basic.
I had the same problem and discovered that Auto list members was not enabled on my machine. It's under Tools > Options > Text Editor > Basic > General. This gave me the intellisense I was looking for.
Simple thing which can be used when you face this kind of issue is to press
tab key instead of Enter key when the IntelliSense provided me prediction list.
I am running Xamarin Studio 4.2.3 on Windows. I have it set to show the autocomplete window automatically when typing... so for instance, when I type cw the following appears:
The editor will allow me to choose CswWriter from the list and press either TAB or ENTER to replace the cw with CswWriter.
However... it will not allow me to choose the cw snippet from the dropdown. I also dug through the Key Bindings dialog looking for the ability to bind something like "Expand Snippet" to a key and did not see it.
Anyone know what's going on? How do I expand the snippet?
I CAN bind a key to "Insert Template...", which pops up another autocomplete-like window with only code snippets in it... but why put them in the normal autocomplete if it won't actually let you choose them?
Xamarin Studio has similar behaviour to Visual Studio. To expand the snippet you need to press tab when the completion window is closed.
When you type in cw, the auto-completion window is displayed, pressing tab will then complete the text, in this case cw, which you have already written. Now if you press tab again the code snippet will be expanded.
The first tab key press in your example is a bit confusing since you have already typed in the full text, however for longer code snippet names (e.g. 'prop' and you have typed in just 'pr'), it is less confusing since you will complete the text for the code snippet with the initial tab key press, then pressing tab again will expand it.
Visual Studio displays the message "Press TAB twice to insert the snippet" in the code completion window to make it more obvious what you need to do.
Like I said in the title of this question, is it possible to attach a keyboard shortcut to collapse all items in the solution explorer with Visual Studio 2012?
In previous version; 2010, I was able to create a macro to enable this feature but in Visual Studio 2012, there is no more support for macros.
I'm able to right click onto item in the solution explorer and choose 'Collapse All' but I prefer to just typed 'Ctrl+Shift+C' to do the same job.
FWIW, this is the best I've been able to come up with so far.
Alternative 1
Press Ctrl+ยจ to put focus in the search box above the Solution Explorer.
Press Shift+Tab to move focus to the toolbar.
Use the left arrow to move focus to the left, until you hit the Collapse All button (four times. YMMV).
Alternative 2
Press Ctrl+Alt+l (or whatever your personal shortcut is) to focus the Solution Explorer.
Press Shift+Alt to focus the Solution Explorer toolbar. This puts the focus on the Home button on the toolbar.
Use the right arrow to move focus to the right, until you hit the Collapse All button (three times).
Press Enter.
Alternative 3
Press Ctrl+Alt+l (or whatever your personal shortcut is) to focus the Solution Explorer.
Press and hold the left arrow until you've reached the top node (the Solution node).
Press the up arrow to put focus in the search box above the Solution Explorer.
Press Shift+Tab to move focus to the toolbar.
Use the left arrow to move focus to the left, until you hit the Collapse All button (two times. YMMV).
As you can see in the screenshot below, there is an option called Collapse All and a shortcut key next to it.
Now this shortcut key will not work for you !
Unless ofcourse, you set it up using Tools > Options > Keyboard. The command name is CollapseInSolutionExplorerAction. Search using this command name and assign a shortcut key of your choice.
That's it and you are ready to use your shortcut key !

Visual Studio 2012 / ReSharper 8.0.1:
The command is 'ProjectAndSolutionContextMenus.Project.ReSharper_CollapseInSolutionExplorer'.
I suggest you to try CodeMaid extension for Visual Studio. It provides a command "Collapse All Projects Recursively" that has customizable shortcut (by default, it is Ctrl+M,-). It has some other nice abilities, like switching between .cpp and its .h files, joining lines, etc.
I have searched on the net a way to do this when I have first install VS2012 ..
I have just found the solution, so I share it :)
you can do this by adding your visual studio version to an existing Extension ...
Download the extension for VS 10
Change the extension from vsix to zip
extract it and open the file extension.vsixmanifest
Find this xml section : SupportedProducts
Add this :
<VisualStudio Version="11.0">
<Edition>Ultimate</Edition>
<Edition>Premium</Edition>
<Edition>Pro</Edition>
</VisualStudio>
you can also try version 12 for visual studio 2013 ...
zip it, and change the extension from zip to vsix.
Now you can Install it.
after install it, Goto Tools -> Customise and click on the keyboard button.
Search "CrossProjectMultiProject.CollapseProjects" and assing the shortcut you like.
Have a nice codding.
Please +1 if this help you
ps. sorry for my bad English, im French ;-)
