Is it possible to turn on better tab lines? Not just constant vertical lines, I mean something more like:

Code:
.....

if (true) {
|    if (also true) {
|    |    variable = true;
|    |    variable = true;
}    }

.....
That is only present in between the if and the }.

instead of this:

Not in the GMS2 editor as far as I'm aware, though you could file it as a suggestion.

Maybe take a look at GMEdit by YellowAfterlife which does have them (and many other features that the GMS2 code editor doesn't).

Indeed - in GMEdit it does show only indentation lines inside actual indentation, and you can style them by modifying `background-image` property of `.ace-tm .ace_indent-guide` in a child theme.
