Well for Javascript this isn't a downside, since it doesn't have any line-based scopes. But most grammars match entire lines at some point, adding tab scopes to each of those would get very messy quite fast. Depending how many tabs you allow that's 5+ captures, double it if you have a different scope for spaces over tabs like your current version does for each rule.
There are a few places where I've had to capture the leading space, but you just have to include the #leading-space thing and you're good to go. Obviously wouldn't work if that space was taken in a different way though.
Most of the line-based scopes capture "^\s*foo" as the begin, I guess you could a look-ahead to get into the patterns immediately but then your into making it more complicated which was my point. ;)
Well then, um… yeah
I'd also like the option of activating the coloring based on caret position instead of having to mouse over the gutter like in Xcode.
You can do this in XCode, View → Folding → Focus follows selection. Took me forever to figure out how to take that screenshot. ;)
I look forward to using that soon.
