Margin guides?
I generally use EmEditor to edit programs and shell scripts that are also used on old-fashioned Unix terminals, so I generally try to keep my programs and scripts within an 80-character line length.

Is there any way to get EmEditor to show a margin guide at a given column, such as column 80 or 132 (a vertical line and/or shaded area to the right of column 80)?

This would be very handy, and is a feature many editors have. If it cannot currently do this, I'd like to request it as an enhancement.

Thanks!

You might want to change the color of "Outside of regions" in the Display tab of configuration properties.
