Maybe use nvim as backend, or maybe implement LSP, ...

[dumblob]

Don't know what are the goals of vid, but when I saw that vid wants to have some configuration (colors, ...), needs undo, wants non-vim controls, then I asked myself why not to save some work and use nvim as backend (as e.g. https://github.com/equalsraf/neovim-qt/ does)?

The performance shall be also very good, there are mature Emacs (or other controls "styles") plugins, etc.

Or vice versa - make vid stay a backend and just implement Language Server Protocol and use any frontend (graphical or console or whatever) you like.

^Just thoughts...

I considered this.

I started this project as a proof of concept and to learn about editors.

Perhaps using existing backends is a good strategy.
