Is there a vertical ruler option? That would be very helpful when indexing/reviewing using the "column" format?

If not, is there a place to submit a request for this feature? Thanks!

    Vertical Ruler: Ruler is horizontal at the present time.

    I’m not sure how you would use it with column entry mode, but if you have a Windows PC, there is a free app called A Ruler For Windows that is a rule/reading guide with a horizontal and vertical mode. I’ve used it as a reading guide while indexing/reviewing in its horizontal mode for years. Here is a link to it:

    These are the options for it.

    Plus, the developer includes a video on the apps website demonstrating the various features of the ruler.
