Use an AsyncHook for picker preview highlighting
The picker previously used the IdleTimeout event as a trigger for
syntax-highlighting the currently selected document in the preview pane.
This is a bit ad-hoc now that the event system has landed and we can
refactor towards an AsyncHook (like those used for LSP completion and
signature-help). This should resolve some odd scenarios where the
preview did not highlight because of a race between the idle timeout
and items appearing in the picker.

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.
