Set rulers width

[gerardroche]

I suggest adding a setting to specify the rulers width.

Currently all rulers have a width of, what assume is, 1px.

The size could be column-based i.e. 1 = 1 column, 2 = 2 columns, etc.

I assume some people would like to see it wider but just by a few pixels too, similar to the caret width.

The rulers settings is a list e.g. [80, 120], so maybe a rulers_width setting could also be a list where you could define the width of each ruler or just set one size for all.

For now, you can "sort of" add ruler width: "rulers": [79.8, 79.9, 80, 80.1, 80.2] would have a 5 size ruler

@FichteFoll not sure whether adding a with-patch label here is appropriate

[FichteFoll]

@jrappen Do you suggest to add it? Because it's currently not here and I don't see a patch/changeset that could be applied by the core devs.

[jrappen]

@FichteFoll Saevon's last comment is a dirty hack that kinda works

[FichteFoll]

That's just a workaround, not a solution.

customizing the rulers that show up when identing would be fantastic too! something like the caret settings perhaps?

[FichteFoll]

Are you refering to indent guides? There are a couple settings for that, also for the color scheme.

[dirediredock]

From ST4 settings:

    // Controls how the indent guides are drawn. Options may be combined, with
    // valid options being:
    //  - "draw_normal" - will draw plain indent guides for every indentation
    //    group
    //  - "draw_active" - will draw indent guides for the group
    //    containing the caret in a different color
    //  - "draw_active_single" - will draw the right-most indent guide in the
    //    group containing the caret in a different color
    //  - "solid" - can be combined with any of the draw_* options to draw
    //    solid instead of stippled lines
    "indent_guide_options": ["draw_normal"],

If possible, expanding these Indent Guide settings to do what the Caret settings do would be fantastic! Sadly I cannot get any of these Indent Guide settings to work on my machine, I was thrilled about the "solid" line option

[dirediredock]

Fixed it: my Color Scheme was overriding the settings somehow, got "draw_active" and "solid" to show, and its great! For Indent Guides though, additional settings like "caret_extra_top", "caret_extra_bottom", and "caret_extra_width" would be phenomenal

fyi as of 4156 you have a little more control over rulers, but as yet not size:

Current related settings

    // Columns in which to display vertical rulers. You can also pair the column
    // with a ruler style (See "ruler_style"), eg: [[80, "solid"]]
    "rulers": [],

    // Controls how ruler lines are drawn
    // - "dotted": Drawn as a dotted line
    // - "stippled": Drawn as a stippled line
    // - "solid": Drawn as a solid line
    "ruler_style": "dotted",

Build 4161 adds a "ruler_width" setting.
