For instance, I would like to see the TextMate line numbers become bold (or highlighted or something similar) whenever a line changes. Their state would then be reset whenever a file is saved. It would be like having a more fine-grained version of the "file changed" icon in the file's tab. That is, the icon lets you easily see <I>whether</I> the file has changed, and the line numbers would show <I>where</I> the file has changed.</SPAN></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>As for a use case, sure, you could use the diff feature for finding changes, but that's not the same thing. Diff is not real-time; it requires you to open up a new window every time a change is made. Patrick's idea would be much more convenient for when you're making many small changes to a large file and simply want help tracking the changes you've made. (In a way, it's kind of like the highlighting of the current line. Not truly necessary, just a nice convenience.)</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Trevor</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
