The point of ghost transactions is to avoid notifying language servers about changes since the change is meant to be temporary. This is used for completion while selecting items in the menu: updating the language server would mess up incomplete completions. When a document is changed by a ghost transaction the language server will not be notified so its understanding of the document will not be synchronized and any positions it sends may be out-of-date. So we should avoid triggering a request for new document color information when a document is changed by a ghost transaction. |

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
.
