# Notes
|
|
|
|
- server-client architecture via gRPC, UI separate from core
|
|
- multi cursor based editing and slicing
|
|
- WASM based plugins (builtin LSP & fuzzy file finder)
|
|
|
|
Structure similar to codemirror:
|
|
|
|
- text (ropes)
|
|
- transactions
|
|
- changes
|
|
- invert changes (generates a revert)
|
|
- annotations (time changed etc)
|
|
- state effects
|
|
- additional editor state as facets
|
|
- snapshots as an async view into current state
|
|
- selections { anchor (nonmoving), head (moving) from/to } -> SelectionSet with a primary
|
|
- cursor is just a single range selection
|
|
- markers
|
|
track a position inside text that synchronizes with edits
|
|
- { doc, selection, update(), splice, changes(), facets, tabSize, identUnit, lineSeparator, changeFilter/transactionFilter to modify stuff before }
|
|
- view (actual UI)
|
|
- viewport(Lines) -> what's actually visible
|
|
- extend the view via Decorations (inline styling) or Components (UI)
|
|
- mark / wieget / line / replace decoration
|
|
- commands (transform state)
|
|
- movement
|
|
- selection extension
|
|
- deletion
|
|
- indentation
|
|
- keymap (maps keys to commands)
|
|
- history (undo tree via immutable ropes)
|
|
- undoes transactions via reverts
|
|
- (collab mode)
|
|
- gutter (line numbers, diagnostic marker, etc) -> ties into UI components
|
|
- rangeset/span -> mappable over changes (can be a marker primitive?)
|
|
- syntax (treesitter)
|
|
- fold
|
|
- selections (select mode/multiselect)
|
|
- matchbrackets
|
|
- closebrackets
|
|
- special-chars (shows dots etc for specials)
|
|
- panel (for UI: file pickers, search dialogs, etc)
|
|
- tooltip (for UI)
|
|
- search (regex)
|
|
- lint (async linters)
|
|
- lsp
|
|
- highlight
|
|
- stream-syntax
|
|
- autocomplete
|
|
- comment (gc, etc for auto commenting)
|
|
- snippets
|
|
- terminal mode?
|
|
|
|
- plugins can contain more commands/ui abstractions to use elsewhere
|
|
- languageData as presets for each language (syntax, indent, comment, etc)
|
|
|
|
Vim stuff:
|
|
- motions/operators/text objects
|
|
- full visual mode
|
|
- macros
|
|
- jump lists
|
|
- marks
|
|
- yank/paste
|
|
- conceal for markdown markers, etc
