Kakoune is a code editor that implements Vi's "keystrokes as a text
|
|
editing language" model. As it's also a modal editor, it is somewhat
|
|
similar to the Vim editor (after which Kakoune was originally
|
|
inspired).
|
|
|
|
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.
