There is external plugin for such functionality (https://github.com/sschaef/IndentGuide), but I believe such functionality should be available on platform level (like displaying whitespace characters). |
Created attachment 99477 [details] ExampleScreenshot.png One of the features that I have seen in other text editors that I have not seen in the Eclipse text editor is the ability to show indentation lines. All it is is a light line for each level of indentation of a line. It helps a lot for matching the beginning and ending of large blocks of code. Right now there is a 'Show whitespace characters' option that puts a '>>' for each tab but I find the result to be much too cluttered and I really don't want to see the rest of my whitespace. I have attached an example screenshot of this functionality in 'KWrite".
