Question

How can I hide the following lines to get a cleaner code view?
Like this in the official documentation:
How can I do that or find settings in the documentation?

Answer 1

Press Ctrl + Shift + p, type settings and select Preferences: Open Settings (JSON) to open User Settings, and add this:
// Controls whether the editor should render indent guides
"editor.renderIndentGuides": false,
This will disable the indent guides.
See the documentation for User Settings.
Edit: as on 30th May, 2022, this setting is called
"editor.guides.indentation": false,

Answer 2

I tried the previous answers, but it would not let me, as it said the file was read-only, so the solution I found was below:
Click on menu File → Preferences → Settings.
In the search box, type "render indent guides" (without the "")
Untick the box which says "Controls whether the editor should render indent guides".
This removes the indent guides.

Answer 3

Here's a way to hide the indent lines but keep the active line indicator.
Add this to settings.json.
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"editorIndentGuide.background": "#00000000" // hide via 100% transparency.
}
Only the active indent block will be visible.
To control the color of the active line, add...
"editorIndentGuide.activeBackground": "#444444b9" // Grey with some transparency.

Answer 4

Method-1 (using settings.json)
"editor.renderIndentGuides": false, is now deprecated in vs code.
Use "editor.guides.indentation": false instead.
Method-2 (using settings UI)
Goto settings > search editor.guides.indentation > Remove 'tip' mark for guides indentation.

Answer 5

SOLVED:
"editor.renderIndentGuides": false

Answer 6

Go to
Menu File → Preferences → Settings
And search for "editor.folding". Set it to
"editor.folding": false
This will disable the lines and the folding function.
Since you want to disable the render indent guides,
From the documentation
"editor.renderIndentGuides": false,
This will disable the indent guides.
