  Ok, well now I have to find out what hapoens if I get enough splits to make the width of each less than a pixel.

  I've looked into TextAdept a few times. It appeals to me because it's got a standard Qt UI, is fast and lightweight and highly customizable with Lua. But I could never commit the time to fully customize it for daily use. Anyway, I'm committed to emacs. Other Scintilla-based editors with a similar feel (but missing the Lua angle) are Geany and Kate.

  What GUI text editor widget does it use, or is it home-grown?

  I don’t see it mentioned.

    ? Seems to support GTK, Qt and ncurses?

  Do we still need text editors in the AI agents era?
