No tutorial. No muscle-memory tax. If you come from VS Code, Zed, or JetBrains, everything works the way you expect: visible menus and tabs, a command palette, familiar shortcuts, real mouse support.

A scripted walkthrough: open a file, split the view, run a build, commit. Click to skip ahead.
Tree-sitter highlighting ships built in for twelve languages. Language servers plug in from your PATH — five come preconfigured, and any other registers with a few lines of TOML.
macOS / Linux. Builds from source (tree-sitter uses CGo); Homebrew pulls the Go toolchain for you.
Go 1.26+ and a C compiler. Then open a file or a whole directory.
Every keybinding, theme, and server lives in one TOML file. A Vim keymap is one setting away — opt-in, never default. Cove is pre-1.0 and in active development, MIT-licensed and open on GitHub.
