Inspired by lazygit, fzf.

Necessary background:

1. tview
   • focus handling
     • primitive
     • box
     • grid
     • form
   • draw
     • box
     • grid
     • form
2. ANSI writer
3. context package

Bad decisions

Navbar as separate component Using tview: just use tcell instead, use our own event loop App as separate component: it is just clutter for now, but maybe later pages may be useful

Usage examples

1. Show files

• filename - show_files.json
• source - find [., -type, f]
• preview - bat $item
• bindings
  • Enter
  • Space
  • ?
