Kak files

Blindly copy-pasting hundreds of lines from someone-else kakrc file is not something beneficial in the long run (bloat, extraneous features…).

Nevertheless, having some kind of inspiration on how to combine commands or how to tame the syntax can't really hurt.

So here's a list of kak files written by community members to help you as a starting point:

• search results for kakrc in gists
• search results for kakoune in github label
• mawww kakrc
• lenormf kakoune-extra
• alexherbo2 kakrc
• rlofc kakrc
• casimir kakoune-extra
• danr kakrc
• WhatNodyn KakounePlugins
• occivink kakrc
• armoury An asynchronous plugin manager for kakoune, still in its infancy

Sandbox / Wish list

This section is intended as an incubator for great kak scripts not yet available above.

Members of the community can write down ideas of functionalities they don't have the time or skill to implement right now. Other members can then chime in and offer their support or solutions.

• surround.kak: better handling of asymmetric HTML/XML tags, like in the original. https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/pull/1295
• Support for raw ansi escape codes by transforming them into highlight ranges. Use case: kak as a pager with syntax highlighting for exotic file formats via highlight.js or Andre Simon's highlight etc.
• Persistent undo
• Restore cursor position on open
• Splitjoin vim plugin functionality
• parinfer
• join
• vim-move
