Feature request: Language/Extension filters

[whinee]

Hello, first of all, I just wanna say that this is such a cool extension! I have been looking for something like this far longer than I'd like to admit. Anyways, I saw this extension here.

Anyways, back to the topic. I request a language/extension filter. As I only want the vertical lines to appear when editing python files.

I don't really have an idea on how to implement this, sorry. I have a suggestion on how to structure this on the settings.json though.

This is an example of the current config I use:

    "editor.rulers": [
        {
            "column": 80,
            "color": "#c7aef8"
        },
        {
            "column": 88,
            "color": "#8c51ff"
        },
    ],

Now, my suggestion is to add a language and extension filter which could be added to the config like so:

   "editor.rulers": [
       {
           "column": 80,
           "color": "#c7aef8"
       },
       {
           "column": 88,
           "color": "#8c51ff",
           "filterLanguageRegex": "python",
           "filterFileRegex": "\.py",
       },
   ],

Now, as the name of the added option suggests, they are both regexes. I got the inspiration from this extension which uses that exact filter options.

Thanks for your consideration, and have a good day!

Hi, thanks for using the extension! This is a great idea, but to be honest, I don't know when I'd be able to work on this as I now have a full time job. I'll try to get to it sometime.
