The question is what it is you’re trying to achieve here. Given what you’re trying to do right now, your approach could be considered to be “wrong”, i.e., start by thinking of the larger idea of the application you’re trying to build and the features you need for that.
A better approach than building up an IDE from scratch, as you seem to be doing, is to start from the full IDE and remove the parts you don’t need. It’s the exact opposite to what you’re doing, please consider it.
