Vertical Line Guides

[jackhackett]

Hello all

I dearly love Sublime Text but would like to make a huge request for what I hope should be a fairly simple feature to implement: vertical line guides. These are simply small, dotted lines which “line up” the levels of indendation in the file. They are immensely useful for easy tracking of lines and code blocks.

An example (where the vertical guide of the matched braces is also VERY usefully highlighted in red) is in the free/open source Notepad2:

Is this likely to be considered?

EDIT: Excuse me, I have just discovered this: sublimetext.userecho.com/feedback/19322-search/ So I see it’s one of the most popularly requested features. Any word on if it will be coming?

Thanks!

This plugin should do what you want:

Indent Guides

EDIT: download the most recent version from here: github.com/SublimeText/IndentGuides This file, when placed in your packages directory, will make little indent guides show up on the left side of your buffers. It only works if you indent with spaces, stemming from a combination of it being late and me only indenting with spaces. So... go for it. Let me know if it doesn't work. I might add tab support later if there's demand. It's in a zip file because the forum won't let me upload .py files.…

I have downloaded it but not sure if it’s working. I see the package under the package list but I don’t see any effect.
