Display "rulers" at certain columns using different background color in mcedit.

[IvanPizhenko]

Modern graphical text editors like VS Code can display vertical ruler lines at certain column.
Is is possible to add similar functionality to mcedit?
But because mcedit is console editor, use different background color at the ruler column to "draw ruler".

Menu Command -> Toggle right margin

@mc-worker, there is no such command... (Midnight Commander 4.8.33) I can see tag "4.8.33" was added in the Jan 23, 2025, pretty much time has passed since then... If such functionality was added somewhere in the middle of the year, isn't it a time to make a new release to let distros pick it?

If such functionality was added somewhere in the middle of the year,

The functionality was there for a long time (#1514). You can switch it on with the editor_show_right_margin setting in the configuration file or bind ShowMargin to some key combination. I have only added a menu item this year to make it more accessible.

isn't it a time to make a new release to let distros pick it?

We will make a new release when we can.
