Subject: bug#58804: Inconsistency between ruler-mode, fill-column and whitespace-mode
Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2022 20:22:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Td3KxXk5MMHtZGGBmv7JUbAhMuvFtVirW1Xd-S3xf3MZALvR5zLx8fg-B_qUio_NDp1-oyT06PLE17rmfbZs4lMzOz6CNdtjI1TYITnCy9Y=@protonmail.com> (raw)
Having set both fill-column and whitespace-line-column to 72, I noticed the following.
ruler-mode has the left end marker at column 72, but it should be at column 71 because
column numbers start from 0. Here an improvement would be appreciated. That is, having
the ability to show a ruler variant that starts from value 1. When one uses a block cursor,
the ruler left marker would then mark exactly column 72. The user will knew that if he inputs
the next character he would have reached the line limit and the ruler left marker would coincide
with that position.
