Somewhat related or not, in some cases it would be nice to have a "tile ruler" to both axis of the map similar to the rulers in GIMP or other image editors.

@JFonS In terms of navigation it's related, but of course it's an entirely different feature. A ruler is also mentioned at issue #368.

I might take a look on this, have you done any progress on this?

@leonidaX Not yet, feel free to have a go at it!

Hey, @Jchinjm and I are students who have to contribute to an open source project for an assignment. We were wondering if we could contribute to this feature request. Thanks!

@OsamahAnsari Sure, you're welcome to work on this feature!

You may take #1446 as a base, which was never entirely finished. However, it might be better to start from scratch. Tiled now has a "just to file" popup on Ctrl+P, which could feature a mode to jump to a tile location as well. So, Ctrl+Shift+G could then pop up this filter in the "go to tile" mode (similar to how in Sublime Text, this popup can jump to a line if you type a : at the start). Of course that'll not be entirely trivial since currently the locatorwidget.cpp is entirely written for project file search.
