One quick way to find the cursor is to just hold Shift and hit ↑ or 
↓ a couple of times. That will highlight entire lines and make the 
location pretty obvious.

There are also TextMate-only things like ⌃⌥P. You could probably 
make a macro that selects and deselects something, causing it to flash.

But really, if you’re about to type something it seems like “Where 
do I want the cursor?” matters more than “Where is it now?”.
