Would it be enough to increase the frequency of the blinking of the caret. Seems to me that a frenetically blinking cursor would be more easily seen.

Though TextMate doesn't respect the following system settings, maybe it should?

defaults write -g NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriodOff -float 0.1

defaults write -g NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriodOn -float 0.1

This comes from the following SuperUser post, which is actually about disabling the blinking, but seemed relevant any way.

http://superuser.com/questions/466660/how-to-disable-blinking-caret-when-editing-text-in-os-x

Also some of this issue could be helped by, yet another, request for the "highlight current line" feature.

Thanks,

So far I coloured the vertical bar caret with a contrast colour against the background, but even this is not ideal. Especially if the window loses focus...

Thanks though for the suggestions. I appreciate it a lot.

Patience is the art of hoping. ;)
