Using scintilla has always been my dream.  It promises greatly
increased performance for editing and syntax coloring.

Iirc, scintilla has a way of extending syntax coloring for 'unknown'
language.  If this could be done in pure python it would be possible
to adapt the info in the leo/Modes folder to extend the scintilla
syntax coloring.

A big step forward.

I'm convinced.  Leo needs a qui to replace Pmw/Tkinter, and qt looks
up to the task.

That's not likely to work, unless you put the minibuffer at the bottom
of the log area, and that would make the minibuffer too small.  The
problem is that you don't want to obscure the minibuffer while the log
pane is showing typing completions.
