Dear VIMmers, I want to propose a feature I have come to appreciate in some editors (e.g. Codewright and most recently in the Delphi 2006 editor) that (g)vim currently lacks: change bars. By this I mean a colored bar to the left of the first text column (some other vim scripts use that area already, e.g. ShowMarks http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=152), namely a green bar in front of each line that has been changed (and subsequently saved) since editing this file has started, and a yellow bar in front of each line that has been changed (but not yet saved). (The colors should be configurable.)
Or is there a possibility to emulate change bars using the "signs" feature? Regards, Dr. Christoph Kögl
