This is a bit hacky. Injections cannot stack on each other like highlights because layers can have their own injections. So this new language `rust-format-args-macro` emulates that. It unconditionally injects `rust-format-args` into all strings. Rust injects this new language into known format-args macros like `println!`. The downside is that this can cause false-positive highlights within these macros for strings which happen to contain format-args syntax println!("Hello, {}!", "{}"); // ^ format args syntax // ^ not format args syntax, but highlighted // as if it were :( This false-positive case is expected to be rare. Injecting this fake language fixes regular non-string highlights in macro invocations: macro invocations need to inject the entire token tree and use `injection.include-children` for proper highlighting. |

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
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
.
