      Hi,

      I’m writing just to let you know that I finally found a Notepad++ ruler plugin here (https://pixelatedbigfoot.wordpress.com/2015/09/02/notepad-horizontal-ruler-plugin/), just in time for me to debug a shifting characters issue in a text made of a a single 5000 chars row.
      It’s a 2015 blog post but I did not found it mentioned here so I posted it, maybe it can be useful to someone else.

      The ruler notoriously could not be added to Notepad standard features because the developer religion explicitly prohibits it :)

          Hello, @franco-fassio, @ethan Piliavin,

          @franco-fassio, the link you gave, in your post, is correct. Unfortunately, the download address, below, does not seems to work, for me :-((

          http://freesftys.lv9.org/app/npp/soft/NppHorizontalRuler-0.1.6.zip


          In the meanwhile, I could display the web page, below ( for a couple of seconds, only ! ) :

          http://www.geocities.jp/freesftys/

          Then, the link, below, allows me to download the 0.1.5 version, which works nice :-))

          http://www.geocities.jp/freesftys/npp/soft/NppHorizontalRuler-0.1.5.zip

          Moreover, as the author is a Japanese subject, the ruler options dialog is written in Japanese !

          Refer to the link, below, to get the American/English translation !

          So, @franco-fassio and @ethan Piliavin, two simple questions :

          • Where can we download the 0.1.6 version of the ruler ?

          • What is the last version of NppHorizontalRuler.dll ?

          Best Regards,

          guy038

            I like this ruler plugin as well. An additional thing I noticed: If you double-click the grey area to the left of the “0” on the ruler, a “new x” file will be created – just one more handy way to do this.

                  That is really a derailing of this thread–did you really have to do that?

                  So back to the ruler plug-in…as I said, I really like it, but I discovered today that when you free the caret so that it can move beyond normal end-of-line (reference https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/13531/turn-on-cursor-beyond-eol-remove-unnecessary-spaces-when-saving), the plugin doesn’t recognize this and update its visual representation accordingly…pity!
