Are there any plans for, or any interest in, making it easier to see and set the newline style of open files? Right now it seems you can control this only through the Preferences dialog, and there's no at-a-glance way to tell (or change) what newline style an open file is actually using.

The absence of this bit me last night, when I made changes to someone's PHP file that had been saved with Mac newlines. I had added some HEREDOC-quoted text, and the script started throwing parsing errors which completely stumped me until I opened the file in Some Other Text Editor and saw that it was using Mac newlines.

A newline type selector/indicator in the bottom bar is the most obvious thing to do (it might even be combined with the spaces/tabs popup), but I'm sure there are other ways to do it as well.

Possible?

thanks
