realtime source assembling might be another option to make the editor more informative and helpful: if for each keypress in the editor, the scanner and tokenizer are triggered to reparse the source code, interactive editing support would become possible, for example typing "mvi" could directly display a message in the statusbar "mov immediate value: expecting operand value (8 bit)".

Whenever a complete and valid instruction is entered, the global state could be set to "valid" which could be visualized using an "ok" symbol in the statubar, if the source code isn't complete or valid, the symbol could be grayed out to illustrate that the source seems invalid.
