## Use kakoune as an IDE
As a convention, many commands respect the `toolsclient`, `docsclient` and `jumpclient` options. These string options store the name of the client to use. `toolsclient` will be used for `:make` and `:grep` commands, when an entry is selected in them, they will try to open the file in the `jumpclient` client. The `:man` and `:doc` commands will display their content in the `docsclient`.
If neither of those options are defined, it will fallback on the current client.
Here's a small snippet you can trigger to launch multiple clients and bind them to the right options:
```
def ide %{
rename-client main
set global jumpclient main
new rename-client tools
set global toolsclient tools
new rename-client docs
set global docsclient docs
}
```
Then it's https://github.com/mawww/config/blob/bd58ee3f0314be8561846681d2e837d9545fdde6/ide.kak[up to tmux] or your window manager to fit them correctly on your monitor.
## Read local kakrc file
It can at times be useful to override / extend your configuration based on the local directory, this can be done easily by just adding the following to your kakrc file
``` kak
try %{ source .kakrc.local }
```
and then adding a .kakrc.local file to the place you launch kakoune from for a given project.
