file:LINE:COL-ENDLINE:ENDCOL, with the two short forms people actually type
reading naturally: file:412:9-21 on one line, file:412-418 whole ones. Ends are
inclusive. A path feature, not a search feature — a ranged path typed in a tag
or middle-clicked out of a shell's output selects just the same; search is only
its first consumer.
The dash is the fussy part. `-` was already a file char, so a ranged word
survives click expansion whole, but a range needs a number on BOTH sides or
my-file:10, build-2 and 2026-07-30 would stop being paths. Table-driven test in
look.zig for exactly that.
Selecting goes through the cellRange/setPaneRange pair the multi-cursor work
left, and hxOff clamps both ends, so a stale range selects what still exists
rather than crashing or reaching past EOF — pinned with an 8:6-400:9 range in a
nine-line file.
Producers: / search, Grep, and five LSP sites through a new spanRow — goto,
references, rename tokens and both symbol lists were throwing away real
protocol ranges at path:line:col. Left alone deliberately: Find rows are bare
paths with nothing to span, a jump is a spot not a span, and the diagnostic and
format paths only ever have a point, where half a range would be worse than
none.
One knock-on worth knowing: n now leaves an EXPLICIT selection, so a topbar
execute chords it. grep.snap's no-match step was silently becoming
`Grep TARGET`; it runs from the leader path now, which never chords, and the
dedicated chord steps stayed where they were.

The primary cursor stays exactly where it was — cur_row/cur_col plus vsel — and
sels[] holds helix's OTHER ranges. That split is why nothing moved at one
cursor: with nsel == 0 not one line of the existing motion, operator, render or
mouse code takes a different branch, which is what protects 800 differential
cases and 67 goldens.
paneRanges/setPaneRanges are the whole list; setPaneRanges IS helix's
Selection::new (min width 1, sorted, overlaps merged, primary follows its range
through a merge). An ordinary key runs the single-selection handler once per
range, visited last-first so an edit never disturbs a range still waiting, and
each finished pass is remembered as a distance from the END of the text, which
an earlier edit cannot move — helix's change mapping without a change map.
pushUndo fires once per keystroke, yanks accumulate, and a builtin acts from
the primary and stops the replay, which also closes the use-after-free window
if it frees the pane.
s and S reuse the / prompt wholesale rather than growing a second one: the
pattern is typed into the tag tail, and every keystroke re-runs the match from
the selection the prompt opened on, so the preview is live and Esc is just the
empty pattern. mvzr does runtime patterns — a bytecode VM in a fixed-size
struct with no allocator — with 64 ops and 8 char classes per pattern, no
case-insensitive flag (helix's smart case is done by folding a scratch copy),
no captures, no multi-line anchors. The last two are the two waivers.
Ctrl-c is a whole-list key and not a per-cursor replay, because helix decides
comment-vs-uncomment ONCE for the whole selection; replaying it would take that
decision n times. Comment tokens are a table in config.zig keyed on the same
extension syntax.zig picks grammars by.
Found and fixed a pre-existing single-cursor bug on the way: la<bs><esc> left
the cursor one cell before where the append began. helix's restore_cursor can
never walk past the origin; ours backed up unconditionally. hxdiff was green
before AND after — the old one-selection contract could not see it.
hxdiff 360 -> 481 cases, hxparity 440 -> 561, all goldens from real helix; the
harness contract now reports every range and its primary, omitted when there is
one, so 359 of the 360 old goldens are byte-identical. The one that moved is
o-count: helix's 2o really does leave two cursors and could not say so before.

The pad faithfully turns a two-finger scroll's sideways drift into wheel_left
and wheel_right, so a plain scroll slid the view sideways underneath you. Every
vertical tick now re-arms a guard and every horizontal tick spends one instead
of scrolling, so horizontal has to EARN its way back by landing three ticks in
a row with no vertical among them.
Clock-free on purpose: the core is a state machine with no timestamp on a mouse
event, and faking one by counting renders would be worse than the counter. The
guard is only ever armed BY vertical scrolling, so a horizontal swipe from a
still view still moves on its first tick — only horizontal that interrupts
vertical has anything to prove.
A tilt wheel gets the same treatment, where recent-vertical is a much weaker
signal of accident. Deliberate: the only honest fix is a per-device flag out of
the shell, and that layer costs more than the three clicks it would save.
The rule is one pure function next to the number it reads, with an inline test
written to hold for any tuning of that number. unit-test grew a fourth binary
over the core module hxdiff already links. New golden wheeldrift; none moved.

Each theme is a .zig file of pure data and nothing enumerates them by hand —
fold() walks the container's declarations, so a theme is a file and that is the
whole registration. Field by field rather than a wholesale coercion, which
makes a missing field a compile error that names it.
tools/gen_themes.zig reads helix .toml and zed .json out of vendor/themes and
emits one .zig each; build.zig reads that directory, so adding a theme is
dropping a file in. Output goes to the build cache rather than the tree, so zig
owns the freshness check and a deleted source cannot leave a stale theme
behind. Vendored, not read from the genizah: the build stays offline. A source
it cannot map is a hard error naming the file and the key, never a silently
black-on-black theme.
ThemeSel is the clever half. Traits gained an `executes` column, so n/N over
that buffer hands the whole line to Exec instead of the leading word to Look —
both arms the ordinary builtin, so a stepped row does exactly what the matching
mouse button on it would. Stepping the list previews each theme live. The trait
is a pane property, not an output-pane branch, so any pane whose lines are
commands can opt in.
Goldens: leader gains SPC t t; theme's fourth NextColor no longer wraps to
helix because the ring is fifteen long. New: themesel.

One container, not two: focus_hist (a stack of pane ids rebuilt every sync) is
now jumps[] + a current pointer, and the +Jumps buffer is a RENDERING of that
array — nothing copies it, nothing shadows it. prevFocus, Toggleterm, Look's
directory order, Back/Forward, Last and Jumplist all walk the one list.
A pane id is reused, so a location that only remembered an id would retarget
after a respawn: panes now carry a monotonic serial and an entry whose slot
holds a different serial is dead. trackJump compacts those out and fixes the
pointer in the same pass.
The push rule lives in ONE place and says: a location is worth remembering
when you cannot see it any more — a different pane, or more than a bodyful of
rows away in the same one. So hjkl never grows the list and 100G, a search hit
and a goto-definition do.
Ctrl-o/Ctrl-i walk it, SPC j j toggles the last two, SPC j l lists them.
Ctrl-i IS Tab on a legacy host, where the binding simply never fires and
Tab-executes is untouched; kitty reports them apart. SPC j o/i work anywhere.
Two goldens moved, both the SPC ? Help listing gaining four rows.

Their only special feature is now the keys they are assigned. `Look main.zig`
typed in a tag is the same look a right click is; config.look_cmd/exec_cmd
point the two buttons and Enter/Tab at them, so retargeting Enter to Grep is
one line. actOnSelection — a hand-written cascade with the builtin dispatch
nested inside it — is gone, and the `button` parameter it threaded through five
KEYBOARD call sites went with it.
New syntax, spelled once in config.zig: @`ls -la` names a command to run
rather than a file to open. Word expansion takes the quoted run whole, the way
acme does for its own </|/> words, so a click inside one does not hand Look the
fragment `ls`.
And it nests: @`Look .` unwraps, re-enters the dispatcher, and looks at the
directory. Guarded at depth 8, which is unreachable today (every re-entry
strips a word or a delimiter pair, so the string strictly shrinks) and exists
for a future syntax that does not shrink.
leader_path is now optional: a builtin may have no SPC path when its shortcut
is a key and a mouse button. New golden cmdword; the other 59 unmoved.

An output buffer was a file pane with a flag, and everything special about it
was re-derived from outside by asking the wrong question: the buffer NAME
("+Search", "+Help"), a parallel search_kind field, and f.output predicates
sprinkled through kind-agnostic code.
Now it carries its Origin — the Builtin, or the lsp.Kind for the five gotos
helix binds as motions rather than words — plus that command's argument, and
one Traits table answers every question the scattered code used to ask: what
it is called, whether n/N steps it, whether it is a doc for layout, whether
Esc dismisses it, whether it saves. The name is derived FROM the command
instead of being the thing that identifies it.
Adding a kind of output pane is adding a row. No golden moved.

Retargeting a key, a mouse chord or a spelling is now an edit to src/config.zig
and nothing else. Three parts in reading order: pardes's own bindings (where a
reader lands), the Look/Exec syntax, then the helix keymap under a banner
saying hxdiff/hxparity are differential suites against real helix, so a key
moved there is a divergence and not a tweak.
The bindings are data a comptime loop can walk, because the builtin index is
going to walk them.
Duplication this cut: is/isC/isA became one hit(key, chords) over ~132 call
sites, and a binding being a LIST collapses the letter-or-arrow chains;
swap_enter_tab is gone, replaced by look_key/exec_key that can point anywhere;
the four focus builtins' h/j/k/l lived hardcoded in two places and is now one
table.
No golden moved.
