This basically will allow you to make some big refactorings and cut a lot of code (hopefully) and also allow some funny things like @`Look .` (basically allowing nested things like this for no good reason other than, it's elegant and it's fun!) - We'll make the focus history a meaningful and strong semantic entity: instead of being a stack of Panes, it'll be a stack of locations. This will allow us to implement vim's ctrl-i and ctrl-o that will just move the current focus up or down on that stack. there'll be also a new builtin that will toggle the focus of the latest panes, basically moving the current focus by changing the current pointer to the location on the stack. The Jumplist (new builtin) will be an Output pane with each line being a location that can be Looked, n/N should work. -- The main pardes.zig file should hold the logic that applies to all kinds of panes and backends. Maybe right now the pane specifiticies are too intermingled. Maintain the panes logics into their own files, right now tty.zig exists but I don't think output panes live by themselves nor file panes on their own files. Also, each builtin command should be implemented as a struct, the current logic on switching on the enum should use some comptime logic to build the tagged union/enum from those structs now. Also I think it's time to create a few directories on @src now since some files are specific to some backends and others are part of the core, it should be clear just by looking at the directory structure (don't add more dir layers, just new dirs under src). ++ The main pardes.zig file should hold the logic that applies to all kinds of panes and backends.
