Kakoune

My plugins

coming from vim, especially if you’ve used a lot of plug-ins, initial Kakoune setup can be challenging
Because ok Kakoune’s minimalistic nature, a lot of vim-like niceties can be hard to configure
For browsing buffers and files, pick you menu-like tool of choice (fzf, dmenu, wofi etc) and define commands in Kakoune that interact with the menu
Searching file contents can also be delegated to an external UI, however Kakoune provides a somewhat integrated solution: a customizable grep command that executes you shell program of choice (eg ripgrep) and populates a new buffer with the results. It’s easy to navigate with previous/next commands
LSP was easy to configure; compared to Neovim’s new integrated LSP, kak-Lsp works almost out of the box with minimal requires configuration. It’s fast and has support for a wide range languages.
