Not sure how I managed to turn on this "feature" but when I'm looking at any .cfc file in CFBuilder I see lightly grayed out controll characters (like \n for new line or >> for tab, or ..... for spaces). Not a really big deal, but damned annoying when you're staring at it for a while. Does anyone know how to turn this off?

Yeah, that get's turned on often when people try to do a > and they accidentally hit CTRL + . (Period)

So hit Ctrl + . to turn it off. On a Mac it's Cmd + .

I'll share that I point out that and many other little hidden gems in a talk of that name, available online:

I realize you wouldn't have thought to look there for the answer, but I'm saying that if folks using CFB were to check it out, they may learn lots of other little surprises (solutions/features) like that. Hope it helps someone.
