Wow, that's not much code. I'm going to have to study this.

Yes, and it could even stand to be cut down more, which I find exciting.

This is not going to be anything approaching the complexity of something like Vim. Think more like Notepad2. I spent basically the last 20 hours putting together this POC just to see if the rendering was even going to be clean enough to bother going further. And it looks like it is!

Well I've got a weird little project I'm starting that might be about to change direction.
