Usability Question: can I turn off the vertical clues to column 7? #326

First Off: I love this plug-in! Its great!

But I'm using free format COBOL instead of fixed, is there any way to turn off the vertical clues for column 7, etc?

This is provided by vscode and I customise it on per-language basis.

The specific settings is "editor.rulers", so if you don't want any rules, in your settings you can use:

    "[COBOL]": {
        "editor.rulers": [
        ]
    }

The default is:

"editor.rulers": [
            6,
            7,
            11,
            72
        ]

Lastly, if you want to change the behaviour of the tab key, you can either change the tabstops settings:

    "coboleditor.tabstops": [
        0,
        7,
        11,
        15,
        19,
        23,
        27,
        31,
        35,
        39,
        43,
        47,
        51,
        55,
        59,
        63,
        67,
        71,
        75,
        79
    ]

or turn it off and default back to standard vs code tab behaviour with:

"coboleditor.enable_tabstop": true,

Nice. But, ah, where in the UI do add this JSON? I do not see settings for the COBOL extension. Do I put it in settings.json somewhere?
