I’ve been using BBEdit for years, but I’ve just started using TextMate because I find it has better support for Ruby on Rails than BBEdit (please don’t start a flame-war over this!).

One thing I really miss is that BBEdit can add 1/2 or 1/1 page of empty space below the document (without adding lines to the actual document). This means that I will never have to write code at the very bottom of the window/screen, but I can always scroll the page to get the current line at a comfortable hight on the screen, even if it is the last line in the document.

Now, this might seem minor, but after using TextMate for a few days, missing this feature is really starting to bug me.

On the off chance that there is a setting I missed, or that there is a plugin or something out there, I thought I’d throw the question out here. If you know of any way to replicate this behaviour in TextMate, please share!

    This might be rather a late answer but i am posting b/c this question is high in google. Looking for the same issue i found:

    PageFeed

    PageFeed is a TextMate plugin that allows one to scroll past the last line of a document.

    Its not perfect but for most cases its all you need: https://github.com/ampt/PageFeed
