Did you know... How to view Visible White Space - #003

ViewVisibleWhiteSpace

A simple, but very powerful, little feature, especially when you deal with white space as much as I did when I tested the editor.  The first time I saw one of our developers using it, I thought, “Yuck!”  But now I’m addicted, even when I’m not testing white space v. tabs.

From the Menu Bar, go to Edit – Advanced – View White Space

From the keyboard, press Ctrl+R, Ctrl+W (using the General Settings configuration)

Note: This command is only available when a file is open.  The visible white space state will persist across new files, reopening files, and, most importantly, Visual Studio sessions.

It's also accessible with Ctrl+* (Ctrl+Shift+8 on a US keyboard), which is the same key combo that Word uses. Ctrl+* also works in VC 6.

Visual Studio 2008 ワンポイント said:

これは単純ながら非常に便利な機能です。特に、私がエディタのテストを行ったときのように、スペースを確認する必要がある場合に役立ちます。チームの開発者がこの機能を使っているのを最初に見たときは「げっ」と思いましたが、今では、スペースかタブかをテストするときでなくても、この機能から離れられなくなりました。
