Column number "ruler" for code view

[applaudmedia]

I'd like to have a "ruler" that indicates column numbers that can be placed at the top or bottom of the page while in code view, similar to the one in PSPad (see screenshot). This would be helpful in finding the column of a specific validation error. It would be great if placing the cursor over the ruler would generate a line down thru the code to mark the position on every line, clicking the ruler would make this line sticky. Perhaps a hot key or context menu item to enable this feature as well so the column indicator line could be activated while in the code itself without needing to move the mouse to the top or bottom of the screen.

that's a neat idea.

you know there is column info in the lower left corner though, right? 435:27 = line 435:column 27

..you know there is column info in the lower left corner though, right?

Hey syrupcore, yes I knew this but it only provides a 'click-and-see' approach at best.

Yes, a ruler at the top would be a great additon. That is one of the only things I miss from EditPlus.
