Adding a column guideline to the editor in IntelliJ

Question

I'd like to use column guide line to IntelliJ IDE. Anybody knows about this? I couldn't find any solution for the feature?

For example:

Answer 1

If I understand correctly what you're trying to configure, then you need:

Go to IDE Settings -> Editor Settings -> Appearance -> Tick Show right margin.

Answer 2

I use Idea 12. You can find the settings here: First go to:

• File > Settings > IDE Settings > Editor > Appearance
• Verify that "Show right Margin" is checked.

Now go to:

• File > Settings > Project Settings > Code Style > General
• Select your project's Scheme and then the right margin character size.
• From this page you can auto wrap or switch to using the tab character vs. the 4 spaces for indents.

Hope this helps
