Flow Control: a programmer's text editor

This is my Zig text editor. It is very much a work-in-progress, but far enough along that I am daily driving it.

https://github.com/neurocyte/flow/assets/1552770/97aae817-c209-4c08-bc65-0a0bf1f2d4c6

features:

• fast TUI interface. no user interaction should take longer than one frame (6ms) (even debug builds)
• tree sitter based syntax highlighting
• multi cursor editing support
• first class mouse support (yes, even with a scrollbar that actually works properly!)
• vscode compatible keybindings (thanks to kitty keyboard protocol)
• vim compatible keybindings (at least the basics, more to come)
• good unicode support
• hybrid rope/piece-table buffer for fast loading, saving and editing with hundreds of cursors
• theme support (compatible with vscode themes via the flow-themes project)
• infinite undo/redo (at least until you run out of ram)
• stuff I've forgotten to mention...

features in progress:

• LSP support for linting and navigating
• find in files
• multi tty support (shared editor sessions across multiple ttys)
• command palette
• completion UI
• persistent undo/redo

features planned:

• multi host editing
• multi user editing
