Unfortunately, as a 'junior' developer (I was responsible for the
Win32 builds and little more--I'm not much of a Python programmer) I
don't know if this can/will be implemented. It's on the 'blueprints'
list and is a popular request--one that I'd like to see myself, but
the GtkSourceView library that is used to display the text in each
node doesn't appear to give us any practical way to implement this.
The other main developers have both had attacks from the dreaded Real
Life (TM) monster, and their involvement in the project has
diminished. Perhaps some other text widget would allow us to implement
this? Sorry, mate!

We'll do our best...
