Hi, I wonder if you can consider implementing this new feature?
I'm looking for a sticky overlayed guideline, which is affixed to the VS frame or MDI well.
This could be a thin transucent blue line, going from left to right over the whole editor area.
The key feature is that the line stays vertically fixed to the well at the same height for all documents.
The reason/usage:
I need to remove duplicate code from multiple files.
I usually scroll the two documents vertially to the same screen position, alining the the lines which I want to compare.
Then I switch between the two documents repeatedly using the Ctrl+Tab.
Doing so I can quickly visually identify the sattle differences of the code or confirm that the code is exactly same.
Unfortunately VS does not have an integral scroll (using half-lines).
It takes me considerable time to align the lines of the two documents to be at the same physical location on the screen.
Having an fixed (but draggable) horizontal guidline will help alot.
Alternative solutions:
Using a generic always-on-top ruler from some 3rd party tools (MS Windows Tools).
Using a paper PostIt sticker to stick to the monitor at the right place.
