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.
