    Description

      Hello everyone!! I feel very strong urge to deliver important suggestion, so i found this place.

       

      In Qt Creator -> Edit -> Preferences -> Display there is useful functionality called "Visualize Indent".:

       

      It does provide vertical indication for your blocks in Text Editor, so all kinds of blocks and their hierarchies does not look empty and floating in blank empty space:

       

      Such functionality not new, and was present in most IDE's and some text editors ~since early 2000, and it is cool that Developers of Qt added that to.

      BUT!
      I'm personally missing one more important customization option about this vertical line, which i had in some previous editors back in the day - it is to be able to change line style, so it could be not just 'whole' line, but also possibilities chose 'dotted', 'dash', 'dash-dot' etc.

      It is present, but for horizontal indentation and called "Underline", and horizontal can be customized when vertical(most people interested in) sadly - can not

      (!)Scroll to the right of the screenshot to see the rest

      It is not quite adding a feature, it is rather adjusting existing - since most of functionality already made.

      Hope it would be noticed by someone, so it would have a chance to be added in the future.
