#163 indentation guides

[André Meyer-Vitali]

It would be nice if the editor could optionally draw
fine* vertical lines to indicate the indentation level.
This would make reading code easier in many cases.

* grey or dotted

I miss this feature very much too. Notepad++ has a great implementation that shows dotted lines at every indentation, but just within the indented section. Some images showing this feature:

Just wanted to say that it's very unlikely that Pydev will have this feature without proper support from Eclipse itself -- so, unless Eclipse provides some way to do that, this won't be done... I'd suggest creating a feature request for that in eclipse.org (or voting for one that already exists).

Cheers,

Fabio

See Bug 84878 at Eclipse:

For those interested, it might be voting at that eclipse bug (as until that's done it won't be done for Pydev)
