Play section on enter

[ghalestrilo]

When hovering a section, pressing enter should send the section to the REPL

Versions

1. use the :definition key
2. send each pattern command
3. generate the block and send it

Sending a block is complicated. I see three options:

1. Send via port (investigate flok on this)

• Good: little coupling
• Bad: hard

2. Send via tmux

• Good: provedly works with tidal (tidal.kak)
• Bad: presumes usage of tmux (coupling), works only with CLI/TUI/REPL tools

This is a complicated issue so these are the steps I chose to take:

1. Implement a visual feedback for what patterns are playing (make them bold)
2. Implement the Ctrl+Enter shortcut with a dummy printing function
3. Make a stable dev session in tmux with seg and tidal
4. Implement one of the solutions above
5. Fix RegExp Lookbehind in tidalcycles regex #26
6. Compile (so we can run dev mode w/o node server)

Turns out that flok spawns each repl as a child_process. This may prove a good approach. These are the attempts I will make:

1. Use node's child_process lib to spawn and manage them
2. Use J's (react-blessed) [terminal] component to run the repl - this is kind of a pain because of the pty issue which requires an ugly hack to work

These are my current references:

• flok's spawn logic
• cljs child process logic
