Multiple vertical lines in PhpStorm for max line length


For years since I started using PhpStorm I had a very subtle, vertical line in the middle of the editor that was indicating the line length limit of 120 characters.

That was great and all the jazz, until recently I started having a secondary line, that's indicating the 80 chars limit.

My issue is: where does this line come from and how do I disable it? My linting rules are (and have been) always the same and those are limited at 120 chars. But the new line, the one for 80 characters... well, I don't know where it's coming from or how I disable it

Solution

  • Open up Settings, then type Visual Guides into the search box.

    I bet you see 80, 120 or something like that.

    And, I'm shocked, shocked, that you don't want to be able to store your program on 80-column Hollerith punch cards.
