Could you add a horizontal column ruler that could be displayed or hidden in much the same way the line number column appears? It could look something like below (numeric labels optional; A simple ruler with indicators in 5 character increments is all I would really need ...

... when I also need to determine column positions with my text, as I work on a lot of interface data files. Right now, I use a macro that pastes in a ruler at the top of my opened file. It does the job, but I have to remove it (or make sure not to save it) when I'm done. Do you have the status bar on ...

I would also like to place my vote for a Horizontal Ruler.

Minor Tick mark every 5 spaces;
Major Tick mark every 10 spaces;
Mark for Tabstops as an example (similar to what is available on NoteTab).

Yes, this is (still!) a much needed addition to TextPad. Here's a mockup of a possible ruler design (including the ever-common word break indicator suggestion): http://i40.tinypic.com/jiztvt.png They're pretty standard, but the behaviours of the bar would be: - Clicking on a blank space in the ruler ...

Hi all. A few years ago i suggested a crazy idea of being able to indent columns by placing and/or dragging a marker in a column ruler similar to MS Word. Well i thought i would ask again, just in case any one changes their mind and because everyone has probably forgot about it. Here is the original ...

One thing similar to the horizontal ruler would be the ability to show the fixed column widths with a light grey vertical line, just a visual indicator of the columns. I work with a program that still requires input file data in 8 column wide fields. Having a constant visual indicator of the field ...

I would like to add my vote to have a horizontal ruler on the top as well. (Similar to what is in CodeWright.)

... that a simpler enhancement may have more of a chance of being implemented, but now I've changed my mind - I want that!!! [Bob - I tried FabSoft's ruler, but since I usually work with text files where the lines extend past the right edge of the screen, it's of limited use to me - it won't follow ...

How about this. I suggested this not long ago. It provides a ruler that can also indent columns, like what MS Word does. And they could make it indent certain keywords/characters to easily align things

Until the enhancement request is implemented, here is another workaround, can be used with any product:

I would like to see the option of adding a column indicator / horizontal ruler at the top of the screen, similar to the line numbers option. I've seen one suggested workaround in this forum - keeping a "column-header"-type clip in the clip library, and I do use the column indicator in the status bar ...

... mode it would only indent the selection (is any). I don't know how you would implement such a thing, i think it wouldn't be too hard. when indent ruler moved: for each line selected { // or all lines if cursor is at '//' { add space (or tab); } } otherwise, it doesn't do anything. So only // gets ...

That's what i'm talking about. Everything would be done in spaces (unless the user selected to use tabs). If you move the indenting thing on the ruler up the top then it just adds spaces to each line in between the previous non-whitespace character and the ruler position. If there is a whole word in ...

As a licenced user, i would like to add four options in texpad: 1)-> Printing, add the options to print multiple tabs. 2)-> Add the option to make the view option 'display special characters;Ctrl-Q,I' permanet in the settings menu, sub menu view. 3)-> Add a box in the status bar, where you can see ...
