Is "View > Print layout" what you're looking for? It replaces page splits (header/footer whitspace and page margins) with a dashed line.

The dashed line is distracting and confuses when you are using dashed lines deliberately elsewhere. Why can't we just have an infinitely long canvas of a specific width? That's what I was expecting when I heard of pageless. Was disappointed. I'm not sure why I'd want to be able to set a minimal text width and then be left with infinite margin.

This kinda works but it very half assed.

- It breaks tables that cross pages in weird and confusing ways.

- It messes up spacing that crosses pages.

- It interacts poorly with footnotes.

- In results in weird gaps when images need to get pushed to the next page.

It is what I used before, but it is clearly a quick hack rather than a proper solution of actually not having pages.

yeah I use it and it works quite well but then people use footnotes and they look weird there; disallow footnotes and make that dotted grey line go away and I'm sold

also: the view is a user-setting. When I author some text I still need to think about how does it look when there is a page split (e.g. tables, figures etc) in case some of my colleagues may end up reading it in the "print layout mode.
