Show vertical line for current column just like for current line when the block selection is active

It will achieve two QoL improvements simultaneously: better block selection indication and easier to tell if a symbol a number of lines apart is aligned with the cursor position just by switching the block selection on and off.

you mean like this?

Kind of. Like the

Settings → Editing → General → Draw vertical line at the word wrap column

but in a different color.

so you want the line to extend the whole document even when only a handful of lines are selected.
