• Buffer State Synchronization - Implements real-time synchronization of text buffers between the Neovim editor and browser input fields.
• Inter-Process Message Passing - Provides a communication bridge for exchanging state and commands between the browser extension and the external editor process.
• Content Editable Proxies - Replaces browser input fields with a hidden content-editable proxy to capture keystrokes and synchronize state.
