A [Kakoune ](https://github.com/mawww/kakoune ) / [Neovim ](https://github.com/neovim/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.

# Features
- Vim-like modal editing
- Multiple selections
- Built-in language server support
- Smart, incremental syntax highlighting and code editing via tree-sitter
It's a terminal-based editor first, but I'd like to explore a custom renderer

(similar to Emacs) in wgpu or skulpin.

Note: Only certain languages have indentation definitions at the moment. Check

`runtime/queries/<lang>/` for `indents.scm` .
