Crate hjkl_engine 

Vim-mode editor engine built on top of hjkl_buffer.

Exposes an Editor you can drop into a ratatui layout, a command grammar that covers the bulk of vim’s normal / insert / visual / visual-line / visual-block modes, text-object operators, dot-repeat, and ex-command handling (:s/foo/bar/g, :w, :q, :noh, …). Rendering goes through hjkl_buffer::BufferView; selection / gutter highlights are painted in the same single-pass as text.

Imported wholesale from sqeel-vim with full git history. The trait extraction (Selection / SelectionSet / Buffer + Host sub-traits per SPEC.md) lands progressively under crate::types. Pre-1.0 churn — the public surface may change in patch bumps.

The legacy public surface is intentionally narrow:

• Editor — the editor widget.
• KeybindingMode / VimMode — mode enums used by host apps.
• ex::run / ex::ExEffect — drive ex-mode commands.

Modules

ex

Ex-command parser + executor.

types

Core types for the planned 0.1.0 trait surface (per SPEC.md).

Structs

Editor

Input

A key press with modifier flags. The vim engine reads modifiers directly off this struct (e.g. input.ctrl && input.key == Key::Char('d')).

Registers

SearchPrompt

Active / or ? search prompt. Text mutations drive the textarea’s live search pattern so matches highlight as the user types.

Slot

Enums

Key

A key code, mirroring the subset of crossterm::event::KeyCode the vim engine actually consumes. Null is the conventional sentinel for “no input” (matching the previous tui_textarea::Key shape) so call sites can early-return on unsupported keys.

KeybindingMode

Which keyboard discipline the editor uses. Currently vim-only, but kept as an enum so future emacs / plain bindings can slot in without touching the public signature.

LspIntent

Host-observable LSP requests triggered by editor bindings. The hjkl-engine crate doesn’t talk to an LSP itself — it just raises an intent that the TUI layer picks up and routes to sqls.

VimMode

Coarse vim-mode a host app can display in its status line.
