# Show/hide casts

Hotkey: \\

This command hides all cast operators from the output listing. Please note that the output may become more difficult to understand or even lose its meaning without cast operators. However, since in some cases it is desirable to temporarily hide them, we provide the end user with this command.

The initial display of cast operators can be configured by the user. Please check the HO\_DISPLAY\_CASTS bit in the HEXOPTIONS parameter in the [configuration](/9.0sp1/user-guide/decompiler/config.md#HO_DISPLAY_CASTS) file.
