Basic Commands
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* `e[dit] <filename> [<line> [<column>]]`: open buffer on file, go to given
Some commands take an esclamation mark (`!`), which can be used to force
the execution of the command (i.e. to quit a modified buffer, the
command `q!` has to be used).
* `cd <directory>`: change the current directory to the one passed
* `e[dit][!] <filename> [<line> [<column>]]`: open buffer on file, go to given
line and column. If file is already opened, just switch to this file.
use edit! to force reloading.
* `w[rite] [<filename>]`: write buffer to <filename> or use it's name if
filename is not given.
filename is not given.
* `w[rite]a[ll]`: write all buffers that are associated to a file.
* `q[uit]`: exit Kakoune, use quit! to force quitting even if there is some
unsaved buffers remaining.
* `wq`: write current buffer and quit
* `q[uit][!]`: exit Kakoune, use quit! to force quitting even if there is some
unsaved buffers remaining.
* `kill`: terminate the current session, all the clients as well as the server
* `w[a]q[!]`: write the current buffer (or all buffers when `waq` is used) and quit
* `b[uffer] <name>`: switch to buffer <name>
* `d[el]b[uf] [<name>]`: delete the buffer <name>, use d[el]b[uf]! to force
deleting a modified buffer.
* `b[uffer]n[ext]`: switch to the next buffer
* `b[uffer]p[rev]`: switch to the previous buffer
* `d[el]b[uf][!] [<name>]`: delete the buffer <name>
* `source <filename>`: execute commands in <filename>
* `runtime <filename>`: execute commands in <filename>, <filename>

is relative to kak executable path.
* `colorscheme <name>`: load named colorscheme.
* `nameclient <name>`: set current client name
* `namebuf <name>`: set current buffer name
* `echo <text>`: show <text> in status line
* `echo [options] <text>`: show <text> in status line, with the following options:
** `-color` <face>: print the given text with <face>, most commonly `Error` or `Information`
** `-markup`: expand the markup strings in <text>
** `-debug`: print the given text to the `\*debug*` buffer
* `nop`: does nothing, but as with every other commands, arguments may be
evaluated. So nop can be used for example to execute a shell command
while being sure that it's output will not be interpreted by kak.
`:%sh{ echo echo tchou }` will echo tchou in Kakoune, whereas
`:nop %sh{ echo echo tchou }` will not, but both will execute the

Multiple commands

Some helper commands can be used to define composite commands:
* `:prompt <prompt> <register> <command>`: Prompt the user for a string, when
* `prompt <prompt> <register> <command>`: Prompt the user for a string, when
the user validates, store the result in given <register> and run <commmand>.
the -init <str> switch allows setting initial content.
* `:onkey <register> <command>`: Wait for next key from user, writes it into given
* `onkey <register> <command>`: Wait for next key from user, writes it into given
<register> and execute commands.
* `:menu <label1> <commands1> <label2> <commands2>...`: display a menu using
* `menu <label1> <commands1> <label2> <commands2>...`: display a menu using
labels, the selected label's commands are executed.
`menu` can take a -auto-single argument, to automatically run commands
when only one choice is provided. and a -select-cmds argument, in which
case menu takes three argument per item, the last one being a command
to execute when the item is selected (but not validated).
* `:info <text>`: display text in an information box, at can take a -anchor
* `info <text>`: display text in an information box, at can take a -anchor
option, which accepts `left`, `right` and `cursor` as value, in order to
specify where the info box should be anchored relative to the main selection.
* `:try <commands> catch <on_error_commands>`: prevent an error in <commands>
* `try <commands> catch <on_error_commands>`: prevent an error in <commands>
from aborting the whole commands execution, execute <on_error_commands>
instead. If nothing is to be done on error, the catch part can be ommitted.
* `:reg <name> <content>`: set register <name> to <content>
* `reg <name> <content>`: set register <name> to <content>
* `select <anchor_line>.<anchor_column>,<cursor_line>.<cursor_column>:...`:
replace the current selections with the one described in the argument
* `debug {info,buffers,options,memory,shared-strings}`: print some debug
information in the `*debug*` buffer
Note that these commands are available in interactive command mode, but are
not that useful in this context.
