You can do some of the multi-cursor stuff in VS Code. Missing are editing the directory listing to rename files, doing calculations inline on text and making the whole thing a macro.

But backward compatibility it's not the same thing as OS customization. I also run software last compiled in 1997, but Windows 11 looks a whole lot different than Windows 95 where that software was compiled.

You can implement search on top of crypto hashes. This is how decentralized P2P file networks like Kad worked. The discovery doesn't need to be at protocol level. You can have some servers following large number of accounts, analyze th
