refactor DocumentDidChange events
in the past DocumentDidChange and SelectionDidChange events were implemented in
a simplistic manner to get a simple prototype out. However, if you want to use
these events in more complex scenarios with interdependencies between the two
handlers the system fell short.

The `SelectionDidChange` event was dispatched before the DocumentDidChange (and
not at all if the selection wasn't manually set) so any handlers that wants to
track selection was not able to map their ranges yet.

The reason for this was actually the way that apply_impl was structured. The
function was slightly refactored to address these problems and enable moving
other range mappings to event handlers.

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.
