Hi,
I have been searching for more than an hour, but without any results:

Does anyone know how I reset the tabstop view that I accidentally changed with a keyboard shortcut

Every tab stop is an arrow now and every space is a dot.

How do I reset this?

What IDE are you using? In SQL Server Management Studio I am not aware of a keyboard shortcut or menu that will make white space visible.

If you are using Visual Studio/BIDS,from the menu bar, Edit _> Advanced -> View White Space to toggle visibility of white space.

I am using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 11.0.3153.0

Here's a link to a screenshot:

Does this look familiar ?

I finally found it:

If you press Ctrl-R and Ctrl-W then the arrows appear.
Another Ctrl-R and Ctrl-W and they disappear again.
Issue solved.

Yes. In SQL 2012, do the same thing as what I suggested for Visual Studio. Click in a query editor window, then Edit -> Advanced -> View White Space.
