Topic: Vertical line in VSCode for projects


Yaël Dillies (Nov 18 2022 at 16:27):

How do I show the vertical line at character 100 in VSCode on a non-mathlib project?

Yaël Dillies (Nov 18 2022 at 16:27):

If possible, in a way that's persistent across instances of VSCode

Johan Commelin (Nov 18 2022 at 16:29):

See .vscode/settings.json in mathlib for some good defaults

You need to add

"editorRuler.foreground": "#ff40efa1",

(this is my favourite color) as well as

"editor.rulers": [ 100],

in your json file.

Amazing! Worked instantly.

Well, had it worked after a couple of hours, I would have doubted of my understanding on how software works... :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I mean I didn't have to restart VSCode :grinning:
