Declined Ruler in TCEDIT

[oph]

A ruler indicating the columns is more easy to see that the number in bottom of screen.

There is a _RULER function in the 4CONSOLE Plugin.

To use the 4CONSOLE Plugin from TCC within TCMD, I wrote a .BTM;

c:\users\jlc\utils>type 4console.btm
@echo off
window detach
plugin /l c:\utils\4console64.dll
plugin

Note that I have Auto attach consoles enabled;

Example;

c:\users\jlc\utils>echo %_ruler
....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8....+....9....+....0....+....1....+....2....+.

_ruler works for TCC screen, but I am speaking of TCEDIT.
I send a figure from Ultraedit:

Until your suggestion is included in TCEDIT, here's a work-around, using _RULER;

I use the Ditto clipboard manager in Windows 7, so if I want a ruler in TCEDIT (or any editor), I press my Ctrl-` hotkey, type :: press Enter, and I have a ruler.

The Scintilla edit control used in TCEDIT does not have a ruler option.
