I prefer indent guides not to appear on column zero; so I changed line 65 to read:
if pos % tab_size == 0 and pos != 0:

Now, if only it were possible to make the indent guide thinner…

Are you running the most recent build? Is it working in files with spaces, and just not ones with tabs, or is it not working at all? Can you confirm the plugin is running by throwing a print statement at the top of the main function?

I was able to get it working in the first version, but this one will not display guides for tabs or spaces O_o

Yes, I’ve added a status_message in the first class and that displayed. I also added the user settings.

I’m sorry to throw in this a bit late but I’ve reworked the older version a bit. Perhaps you want to adapt the changes in the attachment.

I’m now going to test your newest version…
indent_guides_patch.zip (3.35 KB)

Here’s a new version that’s cleaned up a lot and includes theblacklion’s changes.
indent_guides.py.zip (1.63 KB)

Yeah - that works nicely - thanks!

Didn’t work for me.

Latest build, Windows 7 64Bit

Sad because I like them being there

You have

"show_indent_guides": true,
in your user file prefs?

Looks great! …hey, is there any way to make guides be one pixel width instead of two?

[quote=“adzenith”]You have

Yes.

Unfortunately I believe this is impossible at the moment.

Yes.[/quote]

Do you have any other data you can give me? It’s hard for me to fix it if it works over here and I don’t know why it doesn’t work over there.
Thanks!

What do you want to know?

It would be handy to include the contents of the console: it’ll confirm that the plugin was actually loaded, and any python exceptions will be reported there.

Clearly it appears to be loading… and you’ve got the option to enable it set in your user file prefs…
Can you type the following in the console and tell me what comes out? I just want to confirm that the settings have managed to make it into this view.

print(view.settings().get("show_indent_guides"))

It returned false, but then I realised I put the options in the wrong file…

Sorry about that!

Sorry to revive a slightly older thread but I’m having trouble installing this plugin on the portable version of Sublime.

Can someone please give me a (quick) “installation guide for dummies”? (Yes I really have spent time trying and have RTFM )

Many thanks

• Download the source file from the link in the first post.

• In Sublime Text 2, go to Preferences>Browse Packages…

• Put the file you downloaded in Packages/User/.

• In Sublime Text 2, open up the file you downloaded. It has instructions for lines to add to your user file prefs. If you don’t add these lines to that file, nothing will happen (to get to your user file prefs, go to Preferences>User File Prefs).

Let me know if it doesn’t work!

Today I got to work on a clusterfuck of a file with a 76 space indent at one point (38 tabs).
As such, I modified the indent guides plugin a little bit so that it can also highlight the current indent guide.
The idea is that if my cursor is at column 4, all of the indent guides on column 4 are highlighted a slightly different color.
This is super useful if you are trying to balance tags or something, just click before a tag, and scroll down, following the highlighted indent guide.
