Space sensitivity in editor

[1000TurquoisePogs]

To work better with position-sensitive languages & files, as well as to make jumping to particular columns in fixed-width datasets, it would be good to have the following features:

• A status bar, showing the current row/column you are on
• A ruler to show columns in 5s / 10s so you can get to the right column quickly
• A way to put your cursor on the right row/column in fixed-width files... could this mean adding / removing spaces dynamically to the end of lines?

you can add rulers to the editor via

"rulers": [ 10, 80 ],

but, to have a ruler at the TOP doesnt seem possible? If you had a top like so, ────┼────1────┼────2────┼────3────┼────4────┼────5────┼────6────┼────7────┼────8 That text can't be kept at the top, and read-only. It seems like to make a ruler, it would require having a completely separate div above the editor, running the same font, and scrolling at the same time.
