Many a time I see myself having two windows open. My editor and shell. I keep jumping from these windows either copying content or executing commands. The whole idea of the project is to bring them together. It is to act as a bridge between the commands that the OS provides and the editor.

This is an interesting project for sure (writing text editors are fun, and the mix of technologies chosen is interesting) - but I think it would be fairly straightforward to implement the features you've shown in your demonstration as an emacs package :)

Emacs has a ton of baggage. I like the fresh approach and especially the idea of hacking on my editor in go. As a hardened vim user I like that influence and I think it shows in edi.

What does this do that a normal shell and vim doesn't? If I use that together with something like tmux I can jump between the two seamlessly entirely with keyboard commands.

Right now it does not do anything a vim and a normal shell can't do. But the idea of plumbing is something that would be quite difficult(not impossible) to achieve in vim and a terminal.
