in some situations, with a low number of files in the filtered list (2 or 3) it's hard to tell apart the item that is currently selected from the other ones listed. Could we add a bit more of highlight love to that selection? Maybe a thin border around the row or something like that?

For instance, in the following image can you easily tell which item is selected?

For project settings it would be nice to be able to define "files" as well as "folders".  Sometime there are files that might exist outside of a directory.  Rather than including an entire folder only to exclude all but one or two files it would be nice to be able to just include specific files.  This could take many of the same parameters as the folders, name, path, etc.  Of course the exclude patterns wouldn't make sense to include.

Example:

{
    "files":
        [
            {
                "path": "/path/to/my/file.txt"
            },
            {
                "path": "/path/to/my/other/file.txt"
            }
        ]
}

PS. Great work.  This is an awesome project.  I am hoping I can get our whole development team using it.

I'm a writer not a coder but Scrivener on Linux (still in beta) is not yet able to handle the number of files and the sizes that I'm working with.  Sublime Text can, though it lacks a few of the basic features that would make it just as useful.  I'm not talking about the text formatting, which really gets in the way anyway and can be done in a word processor/LaTex later.  But being able to compile and export files as EPUB / PDF / concatenated txt, also being able to arrange the different txt files into a tree structure and also being able to edit them in a continuous draft.  Sublime Text is great as it opens instantly, I can work with thousands of fragments at once, but there does not seem to be anyway of ordering these.  Also it is hard to find specific settings and resources, tutorials solely for the prose writer....make all this a bit easier, or even have another version without any of the coding tools, and you'll have a whole new market....

Would be nice to have this functionality. I tried to create a syntax highlight but it seems impossible to change the background on the fly.

Make matching pairs of parenthesis different colors depending on how deep they are, the outside pair red, the next pair orange, yellow and so on. I think it would make long lines of math (especially trig) much easier to read, aswell as long if statement conditions that need specified orders etc.

There's a little bug since build 2157, when you delete the root folder of a project, the folder is moved to the trash but it stay showing in the sidebar.

When we have a splited screen, the number of the line where the cursor is set is still highlighted in the idle splited screens. This is quite confusing, especially when the highlight_line option is on.

Please turn off the highlitght of the line where the cursor is set in the idle buffer
