I like the feature very much. However, I used the version of the patch which called it 'guidecolumn'. I can remember an argument that 'guidecolumn' is not a good name because it would be confusing to get the option when trying to complete ":help gui". But in the same manner isn't it confusing that ":help win" completes both the functions for window interaction and features related to the Windows OS? I prefer 'guidecolumn' to 'margincolumn' and feel that the former name better reflects what the option is about since other editors allegedly call it guide lines. Try searching the web for images of "Visual Studio margin line" (no hits in the first 40 results) vs "Visual Studio guide line" (I got 6 hits among the first 8 images; don't feel like checking the first 40 results). -- Cheers, Lech -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
