Ideally I'd like to switch off VSCode, but `nvim` is just not for me and `helix` is being released like once a year nowadays.\n\n## Glossary\n\n- `Tab` - usually what is called a buffer in other editors, but we'd like to keep it simple.\n\n## Status\n\nImplementation order is \"when needed\". Literally everything is WIP and could be changed any minute.\n\n### Done\n\n- [x] Debug info\n  - [x] `.log` file\n    - Defaults to `$HOME/.config/minigun/debug.log`, can be overwritten by using `-logfile`\n- [x] Status bar - like modes and unlike nvim\\helix, status bar is global and not per-tab for easier inspection of the current \"state\"\n  - [x] Current Mode\n  - [x] Cursor Line / Position\n- [x] Commands\n- [x] Basic Components Library - We need some kind of a UI components library, because rn everything is hardcoded so its not good.\n  - [x] Box\n  - [x] Text Box\n\n### Bugs\n\n- [ ] Cursor appears on empty lines\n\n### Work in Progress\n\n- [ ] Modes - Unlike in helix/nvim where mode is usually per-tab, minigun modes are global and represent the current \"state\" of the editor\n  - [x] View\n  - [ ] Insert Mode\n    - [ ] `i`, `I`, `a`, `A` will do for now\n  - [x] Command Mode (`:` from vim)\n    - [ ] `wq`\n    - [ ] Although we don't have any _errors_, exclamations mark support would be nice for forced stuff like `:wq!`\n  - [x] Replace Mode (single char, `r` from vim)\n  - [ ] File / Workspace mode (kind of file explorer)\n  - [ ] Still thinking about select-like mode. tbh I like `helix`'s approach more. (select-action rather than `nvim`'s action-select)\n- [ ] Config options\n  - [ ] Migrate to `toml`\n  - [ ] Global / per project config\n  - [ ] Line Numbers\n  - [x] `keybinds.yaml`\n\n### \"Actually usable\"-level features\n\n- [ ] Themes\n  - [ ] Nerd font icons or something\n- [ ] Multiple windows / tabs\n  - Probably the easiest of all these\n- [ ] Tree sitter\n- [ ] LSP (multiple for the same lang)\n  - `helix` kind of has the best LSP integration out of the box, but you still need to configure it sometimes, which is very painful if you haven't done it before.\n- [ ] Formatters\n- [ ] Plugins (ideally no lua)\n\n## Preview (current WIP version)\n\n![demo gif](./demo/base.gif)\n\n## List of Commands\n\n[here](https://github.com/ravsii/minigun/blob/main/internal/command/commands.go)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fravsii%2Fminigun","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fravsii%2Fminigun","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fravsii%2Fminigun/lists"}
