GhostText editor capabilities document

[fregante]

Not all editors behave the same. There should be a way to write how GhostText-compatible targets should behave. A partial list

Server

• The editor should start listening to connections as soon as it's opened
• The editor should allow the configuration of the port
• The editor should automatically restart the server when the port is changed
• The editor should throw an error/notification if it can't open the port

On connection

• Create a new transient/temporary document so that when closing it the user isn't prompted to save it
• If there's a disconnected GhostText tab open, reuse it
• If there's a connected GhostText tab, create a new tab next to it
• If there aren't any other GhostText tab, create a new a new transient workspace
• The document should gain focus and be brought to the top so that the user can immediately start writing

Document

• It should indicate that GhostText is active (via filename, status bar, etc) perhaps using 👻🌕 and 👻🌘 as indicators.
• It should start as Markdown, but probably just let the editor automatically figure it out if it can

Updates

• The updates should be throttled depending on the text length (between 50ms and 1s)

Options

• Server port
• Gain focus on connection
