Here's a screenshot. The vertical lines join identical levels of hierarchy and should always be paired with a set of folding markers in the gutter (I changed the folding icons), perhaps the joining lines could in some way also be clickable? Im not sure about this however, I principally see it as a way of identifying which close bracket belongs to which opening bracket over long pieces of code that cant all fit on screen at a time.
Anyone got any other ideas?
Chris

1. tab icons: more visually intuitive that what we have, though I am fine with what we have. 2. connector's subbranch: I like the idea to have multiple folding markers within the same indentation. 3. explicit folding markers: I want to be able to clear some of the markers in the gutter by manually setting the marking. I sometimes have too many markers together.

I like the idea of the subtle grey lines, but would remove the little horizontal lines, and place the vertical line directly under/above the folding marker. I think it would look cleaner.
Something like: if a > 4 then | puts "hello" | end
instead of - if a > 4 then | puts "hello" | - end

What if the begin tag and end tag do not line up? I would prefer the indicating line in the text area but I think that's why jEdit does it in the gutter.
