Next steps

  • revisit text lines

It seems that text lines are pretty much everywhere, and annoyingly enough, the API for them is not consistent. For example grid_line will send you [string hl-id repeat-count], but cmd-line will send you [attrs string], but attrs is a map (according to the docs) but comes back as a number?

And in many places, you are supposed to be able to slice and dice columns based on the a cursor position (e.g. in cmdline_special_char)

It would be good to be able to keep the line of text as a string so that it can indexed into, sliced and diced, and then together with an array of highlights converted efficiently into a either a series of spans or whatever.

  • cmdline support

It’s nice that in Vim the cmd line is always at a consistent place at the bottom of the screen

So perhaps we should keep it there?

Reserve a single line of space for the cmdline, and in the case of "blocks" just grow upwards, overlaping the grids.

  • messages support

Would be nice to show some messages as popups (e.g. lint??)

But otherwise we should keep them in the cmd line

TODO

  • Correct cursor based on mode

  • Composed emoji (seems like neovim bug?)

  • OS paste support and other stuff like this

  • Mouse support at least for resizing

  • Don’t ever lose focus of input box

  • Even better performance (measure what’s the delay)

  • Debug console to show rendering delay

Future steps

  • Multigrid support

  • Better scroll performance for multigrid if assumption stands?

  • External cmdline

  • External msges

  • External popup menu

  • External tabline

  • What is the ui-hl state? Could we use it to map to css classes for some stuff?

  • Morphdom or other approaches to mutate the dom?
