I learned to program in an IDE with lines/bars indicating indentation depth similar to what visual studio does
Is there any way I can get these lines?
Hey there!
Rather than having to transport these “lines” into processing you could always just import the processing core intro the editor/IDE your using.
In the Processing IDE itself You can have automatically indents by ctrl-t
You could also open a feature request for those dotted lines in the Processing IDE: https://github.com/processing/processing/issues
However, it may not be likely. PDE has syntax highlighting, auto-format, autocomplete with hints, and reference lookup – but there are thousands of common IDE features that it doesn’t have and may never have – for example, code folding has been a commonly repeated request over the years. For people wanting those aspects of full IDE experience, your best bet may be importing processing into a Java project in Eclipse, Visual Studio, Atom, or Sublime et cetera.
