Indent Bars

Load indent bars.

  (use-package indent-bars
    :straight
    (:package "package"
     :host github :type git
     :repo "jdtsmith/indent-bars")
    :hook
    <<indent-bars-hooks>>
    :config
    <<indent-bars-visual>>)

Customize the visual of the bars to minimal style, based on the example shown on GitHub.

  (setq
    indent-bars-color '("#ffffff" :face-bg t :blend 0.3)
    indent-bars-pattern "."
    indent-bars-width-frac 0.1
    indent-bars-pad-frac 0.1
    indent-bars-zigzag nil
    indent-bars-color-by-depth nil
    indent-bars-highlight-current-depth nil
    indent-bars-display-on-blank-lines nil)

Hook indent-bars-mode onto language major modes.

  (nix-mode . (lambda () (setq indent-bars-display-on-blank-lines t indent-bars-spacing-override 2) (indent-bars-mode)))
