I have found it a bit difficult to know exactly in which indentation 'context' I am in when working on code (especially long code blocks, sometimes spanning more than 1 "page"). This attempts to resolve that issue. I know you can draw tabs (and spaces) but it does not 100% solve the issue, and I find that drawing tabs makes too much visual clutter.
This give a solution found in most common IDE applications. There are editor settings for
Where/when to draw lines is based on the 'folding' mechanism already in the editor.
My first time adding editor settings so please check I did it right :) Thanks
