I'd add:

* pause and stop rendering (very important)
* jump to / highlight error line
* autosave before render and one-keypress render
* column selection and manipulation
* multiple splitview
* block indent/dedent and block comment/uncomment

Many other features would be useful, but these are rather essential...
