VSCode-style preview tabs: files opened from the treeview with a single
click open in a preview tab (titled "~ name ~") that is reused for the
next file opened and becomes a permanent tab as soon as it is edited,
double-clicked or dragged.
Verified against the running editor: single-click opens preview, opening
another file replaces it, editing promotes it to a permanent tab.
Pinned to lite-xl-plugins @ 31eef29 (see debian/extra/README.source).
Git panel integrated into the treeview pane: uncommitted changes with
diff stats, staging, commits and history, toggled from a git-branch
button in the treeview toolbar or the status bar. History is pinned to
the bottom half of the panel; commit patches open with diff syntax
highlighting from the already bundled language_diff.

Vendored from upstream, pinned by commit (see debian/extra/README.source):
- gitstatus, gitopen, fontconfig, open_ext, select_colorscheme,
smoothcaret, nerdicons (font mapping patched to DATADIR, Ships the
Symbols Nerd Font Mono TTF, SIL OFL 1.1)
- lite-xl-lsp (complete LSP client; idle until a language server is
configured) plus the lite-xl-widgets library it requires
- 104 language syntax plugins (none duplicate the nine bundled in core)
settings GUI left out upstream is broken: it requires a
libraries.widget.fonts widget that does not exist in
lite-xl-widgets at any revision.
Co-developed-with: ZCode (Z.ai)
- quilt patch: first-run user init.lua template now writes a tuned
default config (Dark Modern theme, JetBrains Mono with grayscale AA,
line-height/indent guides, compact treeview with hover highlight)
- new theme module usr/share/lite-xl/colors/vscode_dark.lua
- default config in /etc/skel/.config/lite-xl/ for new users
- desktop: launch via SDL software renderer with LITE_SCALE=1.5 so text
renders 1:1 on fractional-scaled Wayland outputs and avoids panfrost
GPU artifacts
- depend on fonts-jetbrains-mono for the default code font
