Zee

Zee is a modern editor for the terminal, written in Rust. It is a highly experimental code. In the old tradition of text editor demos, here's what it currently looks like editing its own source code.

Features:

• The 100 FPS editor. Cursor movement and edits render under 10ms. Everything else happens asynchronously (syntax parsing and highlighting, IO to/from disk, file pickers).
• Buffers are backed by a fast B-tree implementation of a rope (via cessen's ropey).
• Uses Tree-sitter for generating a parse tree from your code. This AST is used for syntax highlighting and on the fly validation. As it is an incremental parsing library, it scales to files with 1 million lines of code.
• Multi-buffer, multi-pane -- shared state beats tmux with multiple editors
• Fast recursive file search with fuzzy matching and aware of ignore files (using BurntSushi's ripgrep crates walkdir, ignore)
• Local file picker with directory navigation
• A pragmatic editor, not a research endeavour into CRDTs
