What is McWig?

McWig is a modal, Vim-like text editor written in Go.

Features:

  • LSP autocomplete, goto definition, hover info
  • Tree-sitter support
  • Color themes (borrowed from the Helix text editor)
  • Lots of bugs
  • Macro support
  • Something like Emacs org-mode: Open test.txt, place the cursor at line 15, and press "Ctrl-C Ctrl-C".

This project was written as a "speed run" — not for speed in terms of time, but rather as an exercise to explore the text editor problem space without overthinking or planning ahead. It’s a quick and "dirty" implementation, so to speak.
