How to get vertical highlighting in VSC

Question

In Visual Studio Code, I'm trying to get the whole column highlighted where my cursor is. The same way a line is highlighted, I'd like to get the column highlighted as well.

It exists in Atom, as shown below, as an independant package.

I didn't find the same setting or package to do it in VSC. Anyone knows how to achieve that?

Answer 1

I don't think it is possible to get the exact same effect as with Atom, where you highlight a column, but for the same functionality (vertical line where your cursor is), you can install the extension cursoruler.

Answer 2

I can suggest you the following extension: Editor Crosshair https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bitlang.vscode-crosshair

It adds horizontal and vertical rulers around the cursor (screenshot below)
