one feature i miss from other text editors are white space indicators and indentation guides. please see attached screenshot. note the subtle dots which indicate spaces and the vertical dotted lines which are usually called indentation guides. i'd love if textmate had options to display these things.
Spaces could probably be added to the 'Show Invisibles' feature easily, although an option to control which invisibles are meant would be nice. Maybe not all people like to see spaces.
But these vertical lines seem to be very useful. I want them too!
I'm not a big fan of indentation guides, but I'd like to have a page boundary guide, e.g. a vertical line at 80 columns (or 132, or 17, or whatever). Plus if we're throwing all those vertical lines at the left-hand side of the editor then the right-hand side will get lonely and unbalanced.
