‘M-x vline-mode’.‘M-x vline-global-mode’.Love it! I just came across this and have been using it in conjunction with highline-mode.
It has, however, some very entertaining behavior when combined with linum.el. I’m trying to codify the exact behavior, as it’s a bit tough to describe. – MichaelWilson
I’ve been looking at the various column highlighting modes and vline is very sluggish. I seems to be working the entire buffer instead of just the visible screen
Drew’s col-highlight is more performant.
It seems that Emacs 23 cannot load vline.el, at least in Windows:
GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2008-10-03 on LENNART-69DE564 Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600 configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4) --no-opt --cflags -Ic:/g/include -fno-crossjumping'
I get this error when I try to load it. Any ideas?
Invalid read syntax: "?"I filed bug #1187, but you never know if they will fix it. Perhaps a fix is (also) in order for vline.el itself? – DrewAdams
I fixed it by your mail. Thanks! – Sugawara
