TODO:
- Tokenizer: add more langues currently only cpp anad python is supported, all other languages are highligted single character at a time.
- Lexer: add more languages currently only cpp and python is supported, all other languages use basic regex patterns to detirmine syntax colors.
- Multi-cursor: add keybind to create cursor at end of all find selection
- Selection keybinds: currently cmd-a selects full file, but cmd-shift-a would be nice to select current indentation or current {} [] () "" '' `` blocks...
- Jump to function definition with cmd click.
- shift click select from old cursor positon to click position.
