Too Long - line limit

Create clean and readable code in Visual Studio Code.

This extension encourages you to write short lines of code, notifying you when you exceed the limit.

Reasons why a line length limit is needed:

• clean, readable code,
• forces you to think about good variable names,
• you can open multiple editors at once and still see the full code,
• comparing versions of files side by side is easier
• some people prefer to use monitors in portrait mode
• less eye movement, harder to get lost in code

Features

Two limits are built in:

• soft limit (default 80 characters) - exceeding it results in a warning,
• hard limit (default 120 characters) - exceeding it results in an error.

Below you can see the extension in action.
