I can't see these things on your wiki, but I started to use your > column-marker posted here. It makes almost exactly what I wanted. (Though I > can't mark several lines at the same time (what would be good) The version on the wiki lets you define as many markers as you want. For example: (require 'column-marker) (column-marker-create-dynamic my-other-marker) The new marker is named my-other-marker and works the same as column-marker-here. > + I can't > see the marker in shorter lines, however it would also be good.) I think lots of people would like that, including me. If you pad all the shorter lines with blanks it makes the marker visible. Maybe not a great solution but sometimes its viable.
