.TP
.BR eval " [<flags>] <command> …"
.RE
.IR exec
runs keys as if they were pressed, whereas

executes its given paremeters as if they were entered in the command prompt. \
By default, their execution happens within the context of the current client, \
and stops when the last key/command is reached, or an error is raised.

execute in the context of the client named

.TP
.BR %{strings}
these strings are very useful when entering commands the
.IR { " and " }
delimiters are configurable, you can use any non alphanumeric character
e.g. %[string], %<string>, %(string), %~string~, %!string!
if the character following '%' is one of '{[(<', then the closing one is the matching '}])>' and the delimiters are not escapable but are nestable

Note that in order for Kakoune to pass a value in the environment, the variable has to be spelled out within the body of the expansion
.SS Markup strings
In certain contexts, Kakoune can take a markup string, which is a string containing formatting informations.
In these strings, the {facename} syntax will enable the face facename until another face gets activated, or the end of the string is reached.

.TH KAKOUNE 1 "" "" "HIGHLIGHTERS"
.TP
Manipulation of the displayed text is done through highlighters, which can be added or removed with the following commands:
.RS 3
.TP
.BR addhl " <highlighter_name> <highlighter_parameters> …"
.RE
and
.RS 3
.TP
.BR rmhl " <highlighter_id>"
.RE
.IR highlighter_id
is a name generated by the highlighter specified with
.IR highlighter_name ","
possibly dependent on the parameters. Use command completion in a prompt on the
.IR rmhl
command to see the existing highlighters ids.
.SH General highlighters
.TP
.BR regex " <ex> <capture_id>:<face> …"
highlight a regex, takes the regex as first parameter, followed by any number of face parameters. For example:
.IR addhl regex //(\h`TODO:)?[^\n] 0:cyan 1:yellow,red`
will highlight C++ style comments in cyan, with an eventual 'TODO:' in yellow on red background
.TP
.BR dynregex
Similar to regex, but expand (like a command paramater would) the given expression before building a regex from the result
.TP
.BR flag_lines " <flag> <option_name>"
add a column in front of text, and display the given flag in it for everly line contained in the int-list option named <option_name>
.TP
.BR show_matching
highlight matching char of the character under the selections cursor using MatchingChar face
.TP
.BR number_lines " <-relative> <-hlcursor> <-separator <separator text> >"
show line numbers, with the following options:
.RS 7
.TP
.BR -relative
show line numbers relative to the main cursor line
.TP
.BR -hlcursor
highlight the cursor line with a separate face
.TP
.BR -separator
specify a string to separate the line numbers column with the rest of the buffer (default is
.IR | ")"
.RE
.TP
.BR fill " <face>"
fill using the given
.IR face ","
mostly useful with regions highlighters
.SH Highlighting Groups
The group highlighter is a container for other highlighters. You can add a group to the current window using
.RS 3
.TP
.BR addhl " group <name>"
.RE
The
.IR -group
switch of the
.IR addhl
command provides a mean to add highlighters inside this group:
.RS 3
.TP
.BR addhl " -group <name> <type> <params>..."
.RE
Groups can contain other groups, the
.IR -group
switch can be used to define a path as follows:
.RS 3
.TP
.BR addhl " -group <name> group <subname>"
.TP
.BR addhl " -group <name>/<subname> <type> <params>…"
.RE
.SH Regions highlighters
A special highlighter provides a way to segment the buffer into regions, which are to be highlighted differently.
A region is defined by 4 parameters:
.TP
.BR name
user defined, used to identify the region
.TP
.BR opening
regex that defines the region start text
.TP
.BR closing
regex that defines the region end text
.TP
.BR recurse
regex that defines the text that matches recursively an end token into the region
.RE
The
.IR recurse
option is useful for regions that can be nested, for example the
.IR %sh{\ …\ }
construct in kakoune accept nested
.IR {\ …\ } " so " %sh{\ …\ {\ …\ }\ …\ }
is valid. This region can be defined with:
.IR shell_expand\ %sh\\{\ \\}\ \\{
Regions are used in the regions highlighter which can take any number of regions.
The command:
.RS 3
.TP
.BR addhl " regions <name> <region_name1> <opening1> <closing1> <recurse1>"
<region_name2> <opening2> <closing2> <recurse2>…
.RE
defines multiple regions in which other highlighters can be added as follows:
.RS 3
.TP
.BR addhl " -group <name>/<region_name> …"
.RE
Regions are matched using the left-most rule: the left-most region opening starts a new region. When a region closes, the closest next opening start another region.
That matches the rule governing most programming language parsing.
Regions also supports a
.IR -default
switch to define the default region, when no other region matches the current buffer range:
.RS 3
.TP
.BR -default " <default_region>"
.RE
Most programming languages can then be properly highlighted using a regions highlighter as root:
.RS 3
.TP
.BR addhl " regions -default code <lang>"
string <str_opening> <str_closing> <str_recurse> \
comment <comment_opening> <comment_closing> <comment_recurse>
.TP
.BR addhl " -group <lang>/code …"
.TP
.BR addhl " -group <lang>/string …"
.TP
.BR addhl " -group <lang>/comment …"
.RE
.SH Shared Highlighters
Highlighters are often defined for a specific filetype, and it makes then sense to share the highlighters between all the windows on the same filetypes.
A shared highlighter can be defined with the following command:
.RS 3
.TP
.BR addhl " -group /<group_name> …"
.RE
When the group switch values starts with a
.IR / ","
it references a group in the shared highlighters, rather than the window highlighters.
The common case would be to create a named shared group, and then fill it with highlighters:
.RS 3
.TP
.BR addhl " -group / group <name>"
.TP
.BR addhl " -group /name regex …"
.RE
It can then be referenced in a window using the ref highlighter.
.RS 3
.TP
.BR addhl " ref <name>"
.RE
The ref can reference any named highlighter in the shared namespace.

Options can have individual values that change from one scope to the other, which will be considered one after another in the following order:
.IR window " → "
.IR buffer " → "
.IR global "."
That means that two windows on the same buffer can use different options (e.g. different
.IR filetype ")."
However some options might end up being ignored if their scope is not in the command context.
For example, writing a file never uses the
.IR window
scope when considering options, so any option related to writing won't be taken into account if set in the
