Thanks a lot for you reply, I try to be reactive to feature requests, especially easy ones like making something configurable through an option (I expect most of these to be resolved in a day or so).

Some people are using kakoune with fzf, using tmux to open a split, which is very simple to implement with fzf-tmux. Interacting with Kakoune interface ought to be possible but possibly more tricky.



Yeah, I can't see how I would do it. I could open a tmux pane with fzf and run another kak window but that's not really the goal. I'd like to use fzf to open a found file in the current kak window. The plugin architecture just really limits this kind of thing, and this fzf example was just a simple one I wanted to use to demonstrate the point.

But again, the stuff you have in this editor is absolutely fantastic, really, I can't say that enough. I just personally find kak less flexible than an already inflexible vim so I couldn't stay with it.

If you have a way to do the fzf example though I'd be curious to see how you do it.


Thanks a lot for you feedback, if you use tmux, interacting with fzf is easy as you can run fzf-tmux, that will open a tmux pan for fzf to run in.

There is an example script for that in https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/issues/383

Its more tricky if you do not use tmux, as due to Kakoune client/server nature, fzf will be launched by the server, which might not even have a terminal. That said I really enjoy fuzzy matching, and most built-in completions do fuzzy matching already.

Thanks again for giving feedback on your experience with Kakoune, always much appreciated !
