I think this is useless and confusing. With this kind of UIs I sometimes view a portion of the file far away from the cursor, and say hit <right arrow>, to see the editor jump to the cursor, thereby loosing my focus. I would not mind too much if others implemented this, but I do not feel like working on it myself.
