`TinyBoxedStr` is a small-string optimized replacement for `Box<str>` styled after <https://cedardb.com/blog/german_strings/>. A nearly identical type is used in helix-editor/spellbook for space savings. This type is specialized for its use-case: * strings are immutable after creation * strings are very very small (less than 256 bytes long) Because of these attributes we can use nearly the full size of the type for the inline representation and also keep a small total size. Many other small string crates in the wild are 3 `usize`s long (same as a regular `String`) to support mutability. This type is more like a `Box<str>` (2 `usize`s long). Mostly I like this small string type though because it's very straightforward to implement. Other than a few functions that reach into `std::alloc` or `std::ptr`, the code is short and boring. |

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.
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
.
