Unruley is a Visual Studio Code extension that allows you to easily see where lines are exceeding a given maximum line length.

• Set a custom color.
• Set a custom opacity, or use the default of 0.1.
• Define a maximum line length for your code (or use one that's already been set).

The background color is automatically applied to lines that exceed the maximum line length, providing a helpful visual cue.

• Allow users to set and update settings per workspace.

1. Install the extension.
2. Open the settings:

• File > Preferences > Settings or
• Mac: ⌘ + ⇧ + P (Command + Shift + P)
