TextMate shows the current line that contains the cursor by highlighting the entire line. I like this because it makes finding the cursor easy when I come back to a TextMate window.
But it gets short circuited by Find which highlights the found text, but removes the "whole line highlight". Consequently, it takes more effort to find where the selection/cursor jumped to upon finding text.
My request is that selecting text within a line would retain the "whole line highlight".
