OS: Mac OSX Mavericks
Brackets Version: Release 0.44 development build 0.44.0-0 (master 27e6c5abb)
Extension Version: 1.3.1
Repro Steps:
- Create a text file that contains blank lines.
- Enable the indent guides
Observed Results:
Expected Results (from Sublime Text):
Other Notes:
This is by design. Empty lines have no indentation, so they have no indent guides. Regardless, enough people have requested this behavior that I am trying to figure out how to include it as an Extension Preference.
CodeMirror mode overlays have a couple limitations that make these "gapless" indent guides difficult to implement. To start, although there is a way to add styles to empty lines, there are no DOM elements to stylize in the empty line. Also, the tokenizer function in the overlay mode only retains the context of a single line of characters at a time but "gapless" indent guides need to know the indentation level of the line just previous to the current line in order to draw the correct number of guides.
