Fix selected text background in toykonight (#9789)
Before the fix, the color that the original (Neovim) tokyonight uses for
Neovim's visual mode was used in Helix for highlighting the selected
item in the picker. But for the highlighting of selected _text_ in
Helix (corresponding to Neovim's visual mode), a much darker background
was used. This made it very hard to pick out selected text, in
particular in suboptimal lighting conditions.

I swapped the two colors, so that text selection now looks like in
Neovim, while selected items in the picker are highlighted a bit less
strongly. (But still easy to see because the whole line is highlighted.)

Screenshot

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.

Troubleshooting

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.
