<p>I'm still puzzled one what is the purpose of this pattern, esp. as on your screenshots the grid doesn't even seem to match line boundaries or something.</p>
<p>But anyway, as <a href="https://github.com/elextr" class="user-mention">@elextr</a> mentioned, if Scintilla gets support for it we could add a setting easily (or a plugin could add it, even).  And implementing this without modifying Scintilla itself, while I believe would be theoretically possible, would likely be a pain and a lot less efficient -- and in any case not worth the hassle IMO.</p>
