kak

Kakoune is a mode-based code editor implementing the "multiple selections" paradigm.

Data can be selected and simultaneously edited in different locations, using multiple selections; users can also connect to the same session for collaborative editing.

• Open a file and enter normal mode, to execute commands:

kak {path/to/file}

• Enter insert mode from normal mode, to write text into the file:

i

• Escape insert mode, to go back to normal mode:

• Replace all instances of "foo" in the current file with "bar":

%s{foo}c{bar}

• Unselect all secondary selections, and keep only the main one:

• Search for numbers and select the first two:

/\d+N

• Insert the contents of a file:

!cat {path/to/file}

• Save the current file:

:w
