gvi

Basic VI like editor, written in go (golang) using fortio/terminal ansipixels

It's just a bit more like "Demo of how to create something that looks/feel a like vi in a few hours" than a fully usable editor... but... it's progressing (and all the grapheme handling is actually correct unlike some others)

So far it is 760 lines of go code across 5 files (+89 lines of comments and 77 blank lines, excluding test files).
