Thanks for the answer. The invert did exactly what I was looking for!
I also have another question which might seem a bit silly but I am not very
experienced a coding. 
What is the reason of existence of the vertical line , parallel to the sidebar,
in the editor area? Does it influence the code?
Can I alter the distance between it and the sidebar? cause the distance is 32
caracthers right now and seems to me a bit annoying.

Thanks in advance
