Hi,
just a little questions about the invisible helpers to see tabs and line endings.
Why does TextMate uses other marks for line endings as for example SubEthaEdit, you get use to the marks of TextMate but would really like know why at all?
Second more interesting for me, where are the signs for spaces? There are absolutely no signs for spaces. Which makes it quite annoying, you have to guess how many spaces or just to try with the cursor.
I hope someone can help me. To find answers for my little questions.

I don't think there's any de facto standard here. I used the symbols I thought worked the best.

I found the look of showing spaces too busy/noisy.

Maybe but I always thought of them as a convention. I actually like the symbol for line endings in TextMate. But I can't see if the document uses LF, CRLF, or even CR as line ending. This would be a nice feature.

True, but helpful noise, very helpful noise.

I sometimes have that need when working with workflows that I don't control (exporting data using XTags to Xpress in MacRoman/CR, or PHP scripts coded on Windows in ISO-8859-1-win/CRLF, etc).
But I'm not sure a different symbol for the line ending is the solution. Maybe integrating the text-encoding and line endings settings in the footer toolbar would be a solution. For me at least, such information would be much more useful than the "Line: x | Column: x" box that I never look at.
What do you think ?

I don't like it: http://lists.macromates.com/pipermail/textmate/2005- November/006758.html
Maybe in a few years or so when I have run out of useful stuff to add and can spend the time on e.g. making the status bar customizable etc. ;)
