    For Visual Studio there is plugin called indent guides adding dots between brackets in text editor. Similar thing is implemented in Notepad++. Is there anything like this for Qt? This is roughly what I mean:

    void function ()
    {
    .       //some code
    .       while (loop)
    .       {
    .       .
    .       .
    .       .
    .       }
    .       //some other code
    }

      Well it's not exactly the same thing but there's an option with similar role:
      Tools->Options->Text Editor->Display->Highlight blocks.

        Thanks, that looks like a useful option. But anyway, if devs add this feature or somebody makes a plugin that would be nice.
