Yeah that would be a good feature. A little hint in the title would really help.
Like: $document.txt (read only)
So maybe I am missing something, but what do you mean by read-only? What is it that determines if the file is read-only or not? You either have write-access to the file or not, and if you do not then you wouldn't be able to save it anyway, while if you do then the file is not read-only. And how would TM determine if the file is read-only or not? I suppose it could try to write to the file, but wouldn't that alter the modification date on every file where this is successful, which is certainly not desirable? Or is there a tool to test if a particular file is write-accessible to the current user? And what if you want to edit some files that you only have access to in administrator mode?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I guess I just don't get it.

Well, you see on the scroll bar how big the file is. I don't think a value in per cent would give more information. With the cursor? I don't know, maybe an indicator in the scroll bar, where the cursor currently is.
When I scroll through my documents it is sometimes awfull to get suddenly to a complete different place just because I forgot where I left the cursor.
Can't resist, but it's called the caret, while the cursor is the mouse pointer. E.g.:
