Show HN: McWig – A modal, Vim-like text editor written in Go

Hey! Check out my "toy" text editor which I use as my daily driver.

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.
