This guide will show you how to remove the vertical line in Atom. This line’s purpose it to guide you for when you should start wrapping your code line base on certain “standards”. For me this was something that was annoying and in my way. Removing it is very easy, we just need to disable a pre-installed plugin that comes with the standard install. In the image below you can see the vertical line in discussion.
- To start we need to go to the main navigation menu and select
File>Settings
- Now that the settings pane is open, select the
Packagesmenu option on the left hand menu. - This will load the packages list on the right hand side. Use the search bar and enter
wrap. Under theCore Packagesheader you should seewrap-guide. - On the
wrap-guidepackage click theDisablebutton. (Don’t worry you can always re-enable in the future if you want to turn it back on) - Now when you go back to one of your editing tabs, you will see that the vertical line is no longer present.
