Indicate wrapped lines without the gutter (like Vim's overlength or colorcolumn)

[dreev]

I like having my editor windows exactly 80 characters wide with no gutter or permanent scrollbars (I use overlay_scroll_bars). That way I can fit as many of them side by side as possible. If I set word_wrap to true and wrap_width to 0 then everything works fine, except that – without the line numbers in the gutter – soft wrapping isn’t indicated in any way.

I’d like some way to make it obvious that a line has wrapped. Just not indenting wrapped lines might be enough, but I don’t want to turn off auto-indent.

Ideally I’d find something like Vim’s overlength or colorcolumn to make it super obvious when a line has wrapped.

Any ideas?

UPDATE: This is seeming unlikely to be possible in current Sublime Text so I’m changing the category to “Ideas and Feature Requests”.

Can you provide a screenshot of vim doing this?

Sure, here’s Vim indicating the overlength line in gray in the top window on the right. In the window on the left you can see SublimeText wrapping the same line without any indication:

Here’s how to make Vim do that:

highlight OverLength ctermbg=DarkGray ctermfg=white guibg=#FFD9D9 
match OverLength /\%81v.\+/
