Move "async move" a few characters to the left in cx.spawn() (#26758)
This is the core change:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/26758/files#diff-044302c0d57147af17e68a0009fee3e8dcdfb4f32c27a915e70cfa80e987f765R1052

TODO:
- [x] Use AsyncFn instead of Fn() -> Future in GPUI spawn methods
- [x] Implement it in the whole app
- [x] Implement it in the debugger 
- [x] Glance at the RPC crate, and see if those box future methods can
be switched over. Answer: It can't directly, as you can't make an
AsyncFn* into a trait object. There's ways around that, but they're all
more complex than just keeping the code as is.
- [ ] Fix platform specific code

This contains the code for Zed's Vim emulation mode.

Vim mode in Zed is supposed to primarily "do what you expect": it mostly tries to copy vim exactly, but will use Zed-specific functionality when available to make things smoother. This means Zed will never be 100% vim compatible, but should be 100% vim familiar!

The backlog is maintained in the #vim channel notes.

Testing against Neovim

If you are making a change to make Zed's behavior more closely match vim/nvim, you can create a test using the NeovimBackedTestContext.

For example, the following test checks that Zed and Neovim have the same behavior when running * in visual mode:

#[gpui::test]
async fn test_visual_star_hash(cx: &mut gpui::TestAppContext) {
    let mut cx = NeovimBackedTestContext::new(cx).await;

    cx.set_shared_state("ˇa.c. abcd a.c. abcd").await;
    cx.simulate_shared_keystrokes(["v", "3", "l", "*"]).await;
    cx.assert_shared_state("a.c. abcd ˇa.c. abcd").await;
}

To keep CI runs fast, by default the neovim tests use a cached JSON file that records what neovim did (see crates/vim/test_data), but while developing this test you'll need to run it with the neovim flag enabled:

cargo test -p vim --features neovim test_visual_star_hash

This will run your keystrokes against a headless neovim and cache the results in the test_data directory.

Testing zed-only behavior

Zed does more than vim/neovim in their default modes. The VimTestContext can be used instead. This lets you test integration with the language server and other parts of zed's UI that don't have a NeoVim equivalent.
