.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Kakoune is a code editor heavily inspired by Vim, as such most of its commands
|
|
are similar to Vi's ones, and it shares Vi's "keystrokes as a text editing
|
|
language" model.
|
|
|
|
Kakoune can operate in two modes, normal and insertion. In insertion mode,
|
|
keys are directly inserted into the current buffer. In normal mode, keys
|
|
are used to manipulate the current selection and to enter insertion mode.
|
|
|
|
Kakoune has a strong focus on interactivity, most commands provide immediate
|
|
and incremental results, while still being competitive (as in keystroke
|
|
count) with Vim.
|
|
|
|
Kakoune works on selections, which are oriented, inclusive range of
|
|
characters, selections have an anchor and a cursor character. Most commands
|
|
move both of them, except when extending selection where the anchor character
|
|
stays fixed and the cursor one moves around.
|
|
|
|
For more information, use the \fB:doc\fR command after starting Kakoune,
|
|
the Kakoune wiki at https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/wiki
|
|
or the main Kakoune web site: https://kakoune.org/

|

|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR XDG_CONFIG_HOME
|
|
Path to the user configuration directory, defaults to \fI$HOME/.config/kak\fR
|
|
if unset.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
|
|
Path to the user session sockets, defaults to \fI$TMPDIR/kakoune\fR if unset.
|
|
|
|
.SH FILES
|
|
|
|
In the paths documented below, \fI<rtdir>\fR refers to the runtime directory,
|
|
whose value is determined in relation to the path to the \fBkak\fR binary:
|
|
\fI<rtdir>\fR = \fI<path_to_kak_binary>/../share/kak\fR.
|
|
|
|
If not started with the \fB\-n\fR switch, Kakoune will first load
|
|
\fI<rtdir>/kakrc\fR, which will in turn load the following additional files:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
.RS
|
|
if the \fI$KAKOUNE_CONFIG_DIR/kak/autoload\fR directory exists, recursively load every
|
|
\fI*.kak\fR files in it and its sub-directories
|
|
.RE
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
.RS
|
|
if it does not exist, fall back to the system\-wide autoload directory
|
|
in \fI<rtdir>/autoload\fR, and recursively load all files in a similar way
|
|
.RE
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
.RS
|
|
\fI<rtdir>/kakrc.local\fR, if it exists; this is a user\-defined system\-wide
|
|
configuration
|
|
.RE
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
.RS
|
|
\fI$KAKOUNE_CONFIG_DIR/kak/kakrc\fR, if it exists; this is the user configuration
|
|
.RE
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
Consequently, if the \fI$KAKOUNE_CONFIG_DIR/kak/autoload\fR directory exists,
|
|
only scripts stored within that directory will be loaded \- the built-in
|
|
\fI*.kak\fR files \fBwill not be\fR.
|
|
|
|
Users who still want to have the built\-in scripts loaded along their own
|
|
can create a symbolic link to \fI<rtdir>/autoload\fR (or to individual
|
|
scripts in it) in their user\-configuration directory:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
.RS
|
|
ln -s \fI<rtdir>\fR/autoload "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}"/kak/autoload
|
|
.RE
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
