On: Sourcegraph is now open source

I think you might be confusing Sourcegraph with Kite[1] (zero relation with Sourcegraph). Kite tries to do something like what you are describing.

With Sourcegraph, we have editor plugins for various editors[2] but they only perform "Open current file on Sourcegraph" and "Search selection on Sourcegraph" actions, nothing like what you are describing yet.

It might have been what I worked on at my internship at SG; demo here: https://vimeo.com/164809163

It makes sense not to make this a big part of SG though, since latency is a huge issue and detracts from the rest of the product which is amazing!
