            Bug ID: 452869
           Summary: [Feature Request]: visualize character limits via
                    background image/color
           Product: konsole
           Version: 21.12.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: matthias_weiss at gmx.at
  Target Milestone: ---

On several occasions it would be beneficial to visually see where for instance
the "80 character line width" is by having the background change at that mark.
So while typing in the terminal you could already see when you are approaching
the limit.

The width should be configurable in the konsole settings.

Possible solutions would be
* allow special SVG backgrounds were certain elements in the image can anchor
to a certain width provided by konsole
* a background color that changes brightness or hue at the character width
limit
* a vertical line in the background with a slightly changed background color to
make the character width limit visible
