To make it easier to visually parse blocks, I am trying to write a pattern that matches on 'even tabs' and give them a light gray background.
It's a good idea, but I think it looks butt ugly as it is now. The rows where I have no tab stops (just new line) don't colour at all, and no text on the lines with tabs colour either.
Agreed, it isn't the most pretty. I was trying to emulate jEdit's (prettier) fold guides (see [1] for a little write-up with screen shots). What concerns me a bit is that under some conditions TextMate appears to be loosing leading tabs if that is all that exists on a row.
I'd like the whole column as such coloured, if anything. I suppose this can't really be solved with scopes, but that's how I think it should look to be of any real help. (not dissing your idea here, as I said, it's a good one, I just comment on the current state)
Personally me thinks a striped background through the whole document would really be ugly...
