A few suggestions: On Macos a menubar item would be nice to pop the app up. Also, expanding the Language set to include bash and a few other common languages would be ace. Finally, if you remove the canvas background or set it to the same as the app background color, it will eliminate the white flicker when you resize the app window. If I get time, I may take a look and put in a PR.

Yes, I'd like to add more languages. It's currently limited to what Lezer (https://lezer.codemirror.net/) supports . However I just found this repo (https://github.com/withfig/lezer-bash) which seems to be Lezer grammar for bash, so I can probably use that for bash syntax support.

Will look into that. Thanks!

Hm, not sure what this means, sorry :)?

EDIT: Now I googled "macos menubar" and see what you mean :). I'll look into it!

Would love to see support for Swift as well!
