If you are interested, his code is here: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/column-marker.el. My suggestion was to use such a feature with an idle timer, to show the column after a certain number of seconds. I use Rick's code to do that, but your's should work as well. > A follow-on to that follow-on: Perhaps optionally highlight > the current column as well. How about this one? ;;; hl-column.el --- highlight the current column ;; Copyright 2004 2005 Masatake YAMATO ;; This is the column version of hl-line.el.
