Refactor DiagnosticProvider as an enum
This resolves a TODO in the core diagnostic module to refactor this
type. It was originally an alias of `LanguageServerId` for simplicity.
Refactoring as an enum is a necessary step towards introducing
"internal" diagnostics - diagnostics emitted by core features such as
a spell checker. Fully supporting this use-case will require further
larger changes to the diagnostic type, but the change to the provider
can be made first.

Note that `Copy` is not derived for `DiagnosticProvider` (as it was
previously because `LanguageServerId` is `Copy`). In the child commits
we will add the `identifier` used in LSP pull diagnostics which is a
string - not `Copy`.

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.
