Michael Davis 98ef05d768 Prefer RopeSlice to &Rope in helix_core::syntax
Pascal and I discussed this and we think it's generally better to
take a 'RopeSlice' rather than a '&Rope'. The code block rendering
function in the markdown component module is a good example for how
this can be useful: we can remove an allocation of a rope and instead
directly turn a '&str' into a 'RopeSlice' which is very cheap.

A change to prefer 'RopeSlice' to '&Rope' whenever the rope isn't
modified would be nice, but it would be a very large diff (around 500+
500-). Starting off with just the syntax functions seems like a nice
middle-ground, and we can remove a Rope allocation because of it.

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.
