Hi

I there any way to set up a horizontal ruler in vim?

I've been googling this for a couple of hours now. What I visualize is
something like this:

I use a dark background. With a horizontal ruler, column number, say,
10, 20, 30 etc would be a slightly lighter shade. This for rapidly
figuring out column position to start editing.

Say I want to edit word 7 on line 67, I do 67G7w, but it takes me
quite some time to figure out that it's actually word 7, I usually
just guesstimate and correct accordingly. With a horizontal ruler, I
can see that word 6 starts on column number 40 + 4, so I could just do
67G44l instead.

If this is possible to set up, of if there is any other approach to
achieve roughly the same thing, please let me know

Regards
