In this small how to we are going to see How to set vertical rulers with Visual Studio Code.

I know that can sounds crazy but I actually spent time looking for this setting…is not that easy to find. In VI you can just do

:set colorcolumn=80,120,140                                                                                                                           

And by magic for each line you will write this will appear

With Visual Studio Code I found this to be not so immediate. In fact you should go to

Preferences -> Settings -> Text Editor and look for Rulers

OR

Use the Search settings at the top and type rulers

Click on “Edit in settings.json”

and in the “editor.rulers”: [] you should write 80, 120 and the result should be something like this

 "editor.rulers": [
        80, 120
    ]

What this will do is that will add 2 vertical lines, one at the 80th column and the other at the 120th column

You can decide to add more if needed and at the size you prefer.

Your editor will then looks like this

I hope you found this useful
