Eclipse ide displays unnecessarily characters - eclipse

I dont want that red circled characters.
what to do?
I tried every possible solution I could

Take a look at what's turned on in the Toolbar. You've turned on the showing of whitespace. Turn it off.

As the other comments have said, you have Show Whitespace Characters on: here is your screenshot updated with an arrow pointing to the button to change it:

Customize background color of suggested text

Does anyone know whether it's possible to customize the background of a text after it has been suggested by IntelliSense? I'm using the Everblush theme.
As you can see in the GIF, after selecting the suggested "activityBar.activeBackground" option in the settings.json, I get this annoying white background between the two quotes. This also happens with brackets and with other programming languages (Rust for example).
Do you have any idea on how to change this?
Keep in mind that this happens only after I press the ENTER key on option given by IntelliSense. It has nothing to do with normal text highlighting.
Following rioV8 suggestion, I found out that the option for this particular case is editor.snippetTabstopHighlightBackground.

How to get rid of VSCode indentation indicators?

So this might be a bit of a stupid question, but I can't figure this out. I have these indentation indicators (arrows for tabs, dots for space based indentation) however I'm trying to figure out how to disable them. Images of what I mean are included below.
This is an example of what I want it to look like and it is what it looks like for other team members
Solved thanks to Ben Voigt in comments
Option I was looking for was "Render Whitespace" and setting it to 'none'.

Cut and paste from eclipse into MS word appears as large blue blob

This has been bothering me for years. Every time I cut a block of code from a java file in eclipse and paste into a word document, the text just appears as a big block of text. Does anyone know of a way to fix this?
This mostly happens with single line copying. Try copying by including the white-space from the above/bottom line.
Try pasting your code into a basic text editor first, like notepad; it should get rid of any attributes that are coming from where you cut from.
EDIT
See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/control-the-formatting-when-you-paste-text-HA010215708.aspx and look for the "Keep Text Only" option.
This is well known problem. It is registered as a Eclipse bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=86503
Unfortunately, for today, this problem is not solved.

Eclipse shows red lines at mouse pointer

Since I have re-installed my computer, there is a strange phenomena using Eclipse (both JAVA and C/C++).
The moment I press control+shift+s, two red lines appear near my mouse pointer.
Image of the red lines:

When I look in the settings-> keys, the control+shift+s is mapped to save all.
However, it does not save all, and only shows the red lines.
Defaulting the keys mapping does not work, I have tried this.
Does anyone has any idea on what these red lines mean, and how to get rid of them?!
Thanks in advance!

Well great, turned out it wasn't Eclipse after all.
Control+Shift+S is a shortcut from Mouse without borders (great tool by the way)!
So, fixed that one, on to saving a lot of files in one press :)

Is there a way configure NetBeans to block indent with the Tab key?

I started using NetBeans for Python development, and so far it looks pretty good. One thing that bothers me is that when I highlight a few lines of text and hit the Tab key, it doesn't do what almost every other editor does, but rather just adds four spaces at the end of the block.
I know NetBeans has a block indent action (somewhat oddly called "Shift Right"), but it seems impossible to bind the Tab key to anything. For now I've settled on Ctrl+Shift+I for block indent as a tribute to my Delphi days, but really, I'd just like make it work like Eclipse/IntelliJ/Notepad2 and do a block indent on Tab.
Any tips?
EDIT: OK, so it seems that this behavior only occurs if I select a bunch of lines and the cursor is positioned on an empty line. This looks like a bug, so I'm going to file a report.
Thanks guys!
EDIT 2: In case anyone's interested, Issue 155735
This should be fixed now - in build #415 and later from http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/python/ . Thanks for the bug report.
Tab should indent the selected lines, and Shift-Tab dedent. The behavior you're describing sounds like a bug. Can you open the keybindings dialog and see what your Tab key is bound to?
Another thing you could try is clearing your userdir in case there is old cruft in there.
If these things don't work, please file an issue so we can reproduce and track this down --

Had you changed the default keys at some point? Tab works for block indent for me.
