Prior integration patches went about it in the most simple and direct
way, which is unfortunately completely different than how it _should_
look. Some bad prior art:
* Checking was done during each render only on the current viewport
* Dictionary loading was hard-coded and done during `Editor::new`
* The UX for suggestions was not hooked into code actions
* Same for "Add {word} to dictionary"
Ultimately this is still very unbaked. Big parts still to do:
* Run a tree-sitter query to discover parts of the document that need to
be checked. Look at the queries used in Codebook - I believe we want
to follow that strategy at least partially. It uses different captures
to control the strategy used to parse the captured content. (For
example capturing strings)
* Support multiple dictionaries at once. Not totally sure what this
looks like yet, other than `dictionaries.iter().any(..)`.
* Figure out how many configuration levers we need. Again, Codebook is
likely to be good inspiration here.
A Kakoune / Neovim inspired editor, written in Rust.
The editing model is very heavily based on Kakoune; during development I found myself agreeing with most of Kakoune's design decisions.
For more information, see the website or documentation.
All shortcuts/keymaps can be found in the documentation on the website.
Features
- Vim-like modal editing
- Multiple selections
- Built-in language server support
- Smart, incremental syntax highlighting and code editing via tree-sitter
Although it's primarily a terminal-based editor, I am interested in exploring a custom renderer (similar to Emacs) using wgpu or skulpin.
Note: Only certain languages have indentation definitions at the moment. Check
runtime/queries/<lang>/ for indents.scm.
