Really nifty and very well done.

If you have time down the road you could think of implementing one feature that every modern text editor for some reason lacks: autocorrect. TextEdit on Mac has some form of autocorrect but mostly sucks, I don't know why in 2014 we're still using the backspace but I feel it's time to move on.

isn't the same auto-correct system in TextEdit.app available by default in any cocoa text-fied on OS X? And if you think that system 'mostly sucks', perhaps it is because you are vastly underestimating what a difficult feature it is to implement?
I didn't say it was easy and I'm not underestimating anything, that doesn't change the fact that autocorrect on Mac sucks.
