Question

See the indent guides? They're damn helpful when writing Python code. Any chance I could get something similar for gedit? I wouldn't mind having to write my own plugin, as long as it's in Python... So:

1. Is there a plugin for this which works with gedit?
2. If not, would it be possible to write one in Python.

Answer 1

There's a huge list of GEdit plugins here:

I haven't looked through them in a while, but I don't remember any implementing indentation guides. Many plugins are written in Python, so there are some good examples if you want to implement your own.
