TextMate 2 Question

I'm going through the Ruby on Rails track, and I'm noticing the preferred editor of some instructors is TextMate. I'm usually a vim guy, but I am interested in learning to use TextMate just out of curiosity. I purchased a license for it on my Mac and I'm using TextMate alpha 2.0. They claim the only unfinished feature is the manual.

My question is: While watching and following along with the JavaScript Foundations unit, the instructor's TextMate has, on the right side of the text editing section, a miniature zoomed out view of the entire document (think sublime editor). Does anyone know if that can be enabled by default upon opening a file? Or do I need to install some kind of TextMate bundle?

What is that feature called?

Thanks

Nevermind, it looks like Jim IS using sublime text.

Some further research showed that there is a "minimap" available for TextMate. Just google TextMate Minimap and a few github projects will show up.
