Identify and visualize indentation — the leading whitespace on the left of each line. Pepe Ident colorizes each indentation level with an alternating background so nesting is easy to read, and it flags inconsistent indentation.
Features
- Per-level coloring: each indent level (one tab stop wide) gets its own background color, cycled from a configurable palette.
- Error highlighting: incomplete indentation (spaces that don't reach a full tab stop) and a tab placed after spaces are flagged in red.
- Respects your tab size: levels are computed from the active editor's
tabSize. - Performance guard: very large files are decorated only in the visible area.
- Toggle command: Pepe Ident: Toggle indentation colors.
