Writing my own text editor, and daily-driving it

This feels like two steps up from a highly customized vim config. But I want one step up.

I want to be able to piece together an editor from modular task specific executables. Different programs for file searching, input mapping, buffer modification and display, etc. Probably similar to how LSPs are already separated from most editors.

One step less hardcore than writing a whole editor.

Anyone know of any existing projects along these lines?

I use my own text editor too. Nobody else seems to get value from it. I’m still surprised by the value we get from home grown solutions.
