@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ Is there going to be a Windows port of Kakoune ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As many features provided by UNIX systems would be missing, or if anything
much less performant on a Windows system, the incentive to porting the
much less efficient on a Windows system, the incentive to porting the
project to this operating system is pretty low.
Moreover, you can get pretty decent performance by using Kakoune on Cygwin
@ -49,7 +49,7 @@ Can I use Kakoune as a pager ?
Kakoune can be used as a pager, either by setting the `EDITOR` environment
variable to `kak`, or by writing data directly to its standard input using a
shell pipeline. However, since the program relies on several heavy dynamic
libraries (`boost` being one of them), it will be slightly less pratical
libraries (`boost` being one of them), it will be slightly less practical
than other regular pagers (such as `less` or `more`) which have a minimal
amount of runtime dependencies.

No graphical frontend is currently officially maintained, you can however
try experimental community-developed ones.
Why are colors misrendered in my Kakoune clients ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The most probable cause for that is a very widespread practice that consists
in setting the `TERM` environment variable in the shell's configuration file.
This variable should be set by the terminal emulator, and not overridden with
an arbitrary value, otherwise it might interfere with general UI rendering on
the terminal's window.
Note that if you're using `tmux`, the proper -official- way to get Kakoune to
work is to add the following line to your `tmux` configuration file:
`set -sg default-terminal screen-256color`
How do I automatically indent code, as Vim does with `=` ?
