Editor splits need one document and undo history with separate cursor, selection, scrolling, highlighting, and fold state for each view. This extracts that groundwork from draft #1481 as the first of five focused PRs. Refs #706.

Adds internal shared-view cloning and peer synchronization. Edits and undo remap peer positions; save, reload, rename, and language changes keep the views consistent. Document-close callbacks fire when the last view closes, while each view releases its own resources. Save As preserves the destination's document lifecycle and refuses to replace a dirty peer document.

The current single-group interface remains in place. Split commands, layouts, tab movement, tab bar styles, and split restoration follow in later PRs.

Validation:

  • make test
  • make lint (0 issues)
  • make build
  • Shared-view tests cover independent cursor/selection/scroll/highlighter state, shared undo, position remapping, last-view close callbacks, reload/rename lifecycle, Save As adoption and dirty guards, and placeholder/pin preservation.
  • Existing editing and file-operation tests passed before extraction and after it. A real-binary startup check retains the existing single editor group.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Open the same document in multiple editor groups while keeping each view’s cursor, selection, and viewport independent.
    • Edits, undo actions, and document changes stay synchronized across views, including after reloads and renames.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Save As prevents replacing a document with unsaved changes in another editor group and reports a clear error.
    • Closing or renaming a shared document no longer duplicates document lifecycle actions.
    • Replacing a clean open document with Save As keeps the remaining view synchronized with the saved document.

Extract the document/view foundation from the split prototype while retaining the existing editor interface. Refs #706.

Walkthrough

Editor groups can clone tabs that share a buffer while retaining independent view state. Related views synchronize document and file metadata through edits and lifecycle changes. Save As checks destination tabs across related groups and adopts matching saved views.

Changes: Shared document views

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cloning and tracking shared views
internal/ui/editor_group.go, internal/ui/editor_group_shared.go, internal/ui/editor_group_shared_test.go
Editor groups can clone eligible tabs that share a buffer. The code tracks per-view cursor, selection, viewport, and highlighting state, and adjusts positions after buffer changes. Tests cover independent view state, shared undo, and placeholder behavior.
Peer synchronization and document lifecycle
internal/ui/editor_group.go, internal/ui/editor_group_shared.go, internal/ui/editor_group_shared_test.go
Language, reload, save, and rename changes synchronize across related views. Closing a shared view avoids a duplicate file-close notification. Tests cover reload, rename, and close behavior.
Save As coordination
internal/i18n/en.json, internal/ui/editor_group.go, internal/ui/editor_group_shared.go, internal/ui/editor_group_save_as_test.go, internal/ui/editor_group_shared_test.go
Save As rejects matching dirty buffers in related groups, adopts matching saved views, and removes duplicate views. English localization adds destination-error messages. Tests cover destination conflicts and Save As propagation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 8b8d4

This change prepares shared editor document views without adding user-facing split commands. The previously reported stale-cursor issue is fixed and covered by tests. No merge-blocking risk is evident from the supplied review context.

Explanation

The title "refactor(editor): prepare shared document views" matches the main change. The PR adds shared-document view groundwork in the editor: cloning eligible tabs, peer synchronization of document metadata and editor state, and Save As adoption across related groups. The title names the refactor type and the editor scope. It is specific enough for a teammate scanning history to understand the primary change.

Editor, diff, and log benchmarks

Comparing bdd73ae9dd84 with 8b8d4940577a on the same runner: fastest of 3 alternating passes at 5x each, -short (2,000-line large file).

Allocated bytes measure total allocation per operation, not peak or retained RAM.

Logs are opened by each side's built ttt binary, 1x per pass, timed from launch until the first frame shows the log; _wrap rows start with word wrap on, and _edit opens a log committed to git, types a character, and moves down 20 lines. Time includes process startup, so the 1 MiB case is mostly startup; peak RSS is the process's maximum resident memory. The 1, 128, and 256 MiB fixtures are generated once outside timing and shared across both checkouts, so reads may use the OS file cache.

Code files open a 64 MiB Go file, this repository's sources repeated, with LSP and the git gutter off; _type also types 20 characters and _enter presses Enter 10 times before quitting.

Timing changes are informational because shared CI runners are noisy; a benchmark error still fails the job.
