But... Don't they already do that? I am a daily vim user and there is a million plugins that were created using those "hooks" you talk about. I guess that's the case with emacs too.
Just two days ago I jumped into a huge bazel project and needed a good way to navigate through 100s of files that are connected through @funny//labels/across/directories/and.files. By only reading vim's :help, I was able to write that 10lines of code which hooks into the existing "go-to-file" or "find-where-this-is-defined" functionality.
(In fact, after "implementing" this feature, I was wondering how I'd do this as a user (not as a plug in author) in any other editors.)
- peakaboo 5y agoVim is amazing.
- girvo 5y agoVim and Emacs are the closest, but not quite what I had in mind either -- LSPs get closer, though have issues with mix-mode files (as does nearly every editor really). I have a design doc I wrote up somewhere, I should dig it out. It was borne specifically out of my difficulty extending Vim to do what I was after when working with PHP frameworks!
