I’d really like this feature. A column ruler to see column number at the top af the editing box.
Is it possible to plugin that? I would be happy to try, but I just discovered Sublime and i still don’t know a lot about it.
Horizontal ruler
Definitely not pluginnable in a sane way. This would be better served as a core feature.
In the status bar there is line and column information. You can turn it on by going to View > Show Status Bar
Also, not sure how feasible cursor tracking is in sublime text, but we can totally update the title of a view to contain column information.
No guarantees it nor some other useful information wouldn’t get truncate though.
True, but this also messes with the dirty indicator since it essentially assigns a new filename to the view. It would also be saved to a different location, unless you hooked on_save
and changed the name back just in time. Not exactly well-integrated. Furthermore, I believe this is not actually what @Mandor wants. I’m thinking of something like the line numbers in the gutter, except horizontally. Is that correct?
