Visual Studio dashed lines

Question

I accidentally pressed something and now there are dashed lines before each line of code. How to remove it?

enter image description here

This is not a duplicate question. This is asking about dashed lines, not dots. Just because both questions have the same answer does not mean it's a duplicate. — waxingsatirical, Oct 03 '17 at 09:30

to turn on/off, do the following:

Edit > Advanced > View white space

or using keyboard shortcut Ctrl+E, S

Isn't it `CTRL + R, CTRL + W`? – huMpty duMpty Nov 01 '13 at 16:49
@huMptyduMpty, Some keyboard schemes differ. Even the "default" schemes on 2 boxes at my work are different. – gunr2171 Nov 01 '13 at 16:53
@gunr2171: When you goto `Edit > Advanced > View white space` in vs it shows as `CTRL + R, CTRL + W`. Thats why I was wondering ! – huMpty duMpty Nov 01 '13 at 16:54
Both `CTRL + E, S` and `CTRL + R, CTRL + W` work for me. – Fenton Nov 01 '13 at 16:55

interesting, `CTRL + R, CTRL + W` doesn't work for me. I'm using visual studio 2012 also. – John Woo Nov 01 '13 at 16:56

That's just showing you whitespace by putting dots and arrows where spaces and tabs are.

Press Ctrl+R, Ctrl+W to turn it on/off.
