Parser-combinators are one of the simpler tools for building ad-hoc parsers. They're a good fit because they are... * Small: each parser / parser-combinator is around 10 LOC. * Functional: helix_core strives to be a functional set of utilities usable throughout the rest of the editor. * Flexible: use them to build any sort of ad-hoc parser. In the child commit, we'll parse LSP Snippet syntax using these new parser combinators. Why not use an existing parser-combinator crate? Existing popular parser-combinator crates have histories of making breaking changes (for example nom and combine). > Implementation note: I tried to not introduce a new trait since the > types can be expressed in terms of `impl Fn`s. The trait is necessary > to build `seq` implementations without a proc macro though, and also > allows us to use `&'static str`s very conveniently: see the trait > implementation for `&'static str`. |

README.md
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
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.
