Netbeans 8 by default shows indent guide lines (light gray dotted vertical lines). How can I turn that feature off?
This can be turned off in menu: View > Show Indent Guide Lines. More about configuring the indent lines in the release notes.
Release Notes
The Guide Lines are dotted lines drawn every tab size before a character on the line. They are shown by default. You can turn off feature in menu View-Show Indent Guide Lines. To change line's color go to Options-Font&Colors-Highlighting-Indent Guide Lines.
i went to tools, options, editor, unchecked "use all language settings" then adjusted right margin to 200 and its off the screen, hope it helps

As you can see here there are no indent dots on my vscode although I have turned on render white space
Could it be one of my extensions messing with it?
Can someone help me turn on the dots that shows indentation like in the 3rd image?
You must add "editor.renderWhitespace": "all" parameter in your vscode settings.json file.
I have some troubles with my vscode settings. I have the following settings:
detect indentation: false
insert spaces: True
tab size: 4
But anytime I focus out of vscode it will automatically change to tabs as indents for my python code!
I have recorded it and uploaded it to youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ddf3IP8zNY. Here you can see in the bottom right corner that tabs are choosen as indent. I changed them to spaces and go into settings to check that all settings are correct to have spaces as indent but as soon as i close settings it goes back to tabs!
What am I missing?
Try turning on Editor: Detect Indentation
I'm still not 100% sure what you're trying to solve here.
Is it possible to highlight the currently selected group/object/list in vs code?
As you can see there is a "basic highlighting" the grey vertical line highlight. But I would like to use a (just a bit) lighter dark grey as background colour for all affected lines. Instead of just a simple grey vertical line.
Only for YAML files though.
Well the indent guide below selector is already highlighted to show its children.
You can try this extension which highlights other items on the same indentation depth.
I recently moved from geany to Aptana as I'm working on some bigger projects and felt I would benefit from a full IDE.
One feature I'm really missing is the little grey line every four spaces to help me maintain indentation consistency. Does anything like this exist for Aptana/Eclipse?
get the PDT tools Indent Guide plugin
Under
Preferences -> General -> Editor -> Texteditor you can activate "Show whitespace characters". If you click on "whitespace characters", you can define, which character should be displayed. Here you can active "Tabs". It's not as good as the lines from Notepad++, but better than nothing.
You can set a print margin indicator (vertical line) in Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors - but this would only be a single line. You could use tabs instead of spaces - there are options to insert spaces when you use the Tab key. In this same menu, you can choose to show whitespace characters, which will help keep your spacing in order. I don't know of any grid options.
Usually I'd like to edit files with Spaces only.
But when I open files with Tabs, I'd like to see them (for example as arrows ->). With such files I do my edits careful, so not to destroy the original authors coding style -- usually I insert tabs by hand when needed.
So, I want to see Tabs all the time, but using the General, Editors, Text Editors, Show Whitespace Characters option, I get distracted by all the whitespace-dots.
How can I reduce this distraction by Spaces, but at the same time see the Tabs?
Can I change the font color for the visualized whitespaces to a brighter color? currently they are medium gray, but I can not find an option to change that.
Or can I choose different setting for Tabs and for Spaces (and Paragraph signs, for that matter)?
The way I used to have it in my goo' ol' editor would be: Change the background color of Tab to light-yellow (without display the -> for tabs or the dots for Spaces). This makes Tabs wuite visible, without harming my "normal" source visualization. This would be my favorite. I did that by adding the Tab to be a keyword in all languages, and then change the keyword background color to a bright yellow.
According to the Eclipse 3.7M3 New and noteworthy you can customize the Show Whitespace Characters to show only tabs but not spaces.
Unfortunately the stable version of Eclipse 3.7 is expected in 2011 summer but if that feature is a 'must' for you you can try that milestone.
