As a feature request, please consider adding the ability to include vertical
lines to the left of and also through characters.
CAVEAT: The vertical line plus the character should be equal to only (1)
`point` -- like a vertical cursor bar and a character to the right.
This new feature has many applications, including, but not limited to:
* A thin fill column indicator line that can span the vertical length of the
window / buffer.
* Thin tab setting indicators in the form of vertical lines for each tab set.
(This is built-in to Sublime Text.)
* A visual vertical division between different parts of the same buffer.
* A thin vertical line (from top to bottom of the window) that tracks the
cursor position.
See the following stackoverflow thread for a screenshot of how this looks,
including the workaround / answer to the question:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23744237/emacs-how-to-create-a-vertical-strike-through-effect
My workaround shrinks the character to the right so that the visual sentence
length is not altered. The vertical bar cursor that is built-in to Emacs can
sit next to a character without shrinking said character -- so implementation
of a vertical line to the left of the character would be similar to how the
cursor presently works.
BONUS: As a related feature request, please consider adding the ability to
draw these vertical lines (from top to bottom of the window) virtually
instantaneously. Creating these vertical lines in `elisp` when
`visual-line-mode` is active is extremely time consuming to perform all the
calculations (up to 0.25 seconds from start to finish) and needs to be done
with an `idle-timer` so as not to slow down the normal movement of the cursor
or typing text quickly. The calculation and placement of overlays can be sped
up significantly by *not* calculating for `visual-line-mode`, but I am *very*
fond of that mode.
Thanks,
Keith
