Hi,

Sorry if this is at all an inappropriate way to submit feature
requests. Please correct me if it is.

I was wondering if it would be a lot of work to implement a vertical
line that shows up at a certain column (usually  the 80th)? I'm
talking about a feature that is often called 'visual print margin' in
other editors.

I find this visual cue to be very helpful when programming to avoid
having too wide lines, and would love to have it in Macvim. I know
that I can keep my eye on the current column in the statusbar, and the
trick to highlight the 81th char using search, but I feel that both of
these ways take away my focus and interrupts the workflow. The same is
definitely true for setting :tw=80 and letting the text wrap
automatically.

Seeing as I have no experience at all with programming in Cocoa (or
the Macvim source code), I thought I might as well submit it as a
feature request for someone more proficient in those areas to
implement if they have the time.

Thank you very much for an excellent application,
/Christoffer
