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

Although it's primarily a terminal-based editor, I am interested in exploring
a custom renderer (similar to Emacs) using wgpu or skulpin.
Note: Only certain languages have indentation definitions at the moment. Check
runtime/queries/<lang>/ for indents.scm.
