What are those vertical lines in Notepad++ called? The ones that light up for matching brackets or tags, etc

Question

I'd like an actual term for them. Tab lines?

I can't find a reference to them on google because i don't know what to search for!

I wanna see if there's something like this for Gedit.

Answer 1

What you are probably looking for is called the "Indent Guide".

In Notepad++ 5.9.8 on Windows, it is found under View/Show Symbol/Show Indent Guide.

You saved my day, after some updating these got missing, and I got confused about them. THANK YOU – Tirrell

Answer 2

"Show vertical edge", found under Settings/Preferences/Editing

This are not the tab lines the asker is talking about. This answer correctly points out that they're "Indent Guides". – Pulchritudinous

It seems the asker saw this summer different, since this answer got accepted. – Ranchero

Or maybe it was that the right answer wasn't available for almost two years. – Pulchritudinous

Indeed, "indent guides" is returning more than zero results in Google. Doesn't seem to be any such plugin yet though. I changed the best answer. – Taal
