Vi(m) to Kakoune:
=================
Most operations in Kakoune are reversed compared to Vim: In kak, you first
select the text you want to act on, then you edit it. This way, things are
much more consistent, as for example, kak does not need a key for delete
character, the delete key handles this just fine as long as you did not
select more than a character (but clearing selection is only one space away).
delete a word:
* vim: dw
* kak: wd
delete a character:
* vim: x
* kak: d or <space>d
copy a line:
* vim: yy
* kak: xy
global replace:
* vim: :%s/word/replacement<ret>
* kak: %sword<ret>creplacement<esc>
join line with next:
* vim: J
* kak: alt-J
delete to line end:
* vim: d$
* kak: alt-ld or gld
some classic vim moves are not bound to the same key, this is due to Kakoune
using shifted moves to append to selection, so moves that were bound to non
alphabetic chars had to change.
* % become m (for matching), however m will replace selection with the next
block, if you want to get a selection from current point to next block end,
you should use <space>M (<space> clears the selection to one character)
* 0 and $ became alt-h and alt-l. Another binding is gh and gl.
:[gv]/re/cmd
to emulate :g or :v, use % to select the whole buffer, alt-s to get
one selection by line, and then alt-k or alt-K in order to keep only the
selections matching (or not matching) the entered regex.
