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.
This fork emits cursor positions using the kitty multiple cursors protocol so terminals with custom shader support can render visual effects at cursor locations. Emits all selection cursors in multi-selection mode and the primary cursor in normal mode (when the terminal cursor is hidden via DECTCEM). Auto-detects terminal support at startup via the protocol's query mechanism, with per-frame deduplication to avoid redundant writes.
# config.toml -- defaults to "auto" (probe terminal on startup)
kitty-multi-cursor = "auto" # auto | enabled | disabled- Vim-like modal editing
- Multiple selections
- Built-in language server support
- Smart, incremental syntax highlighting and code editing via tree-sitter
Although it's primarily a terminal-based editor, I am interested in exploring a custom renderer (similar to Emacs) using wgpu.
Note: Only certain languages have indentation definitions at the moment. Check
runtime/queries/<lang>/ for indents.scm.
