Vi(m) to Kakoune: ================= Most operations in Kakoune are reversed compared to Vim: In kak, you first select the text you want to act on, then you edit it. This way, things are much more consistent, as for example, kak does not need a key for delete character, the delete key handles this just fine as long as you did not select more than a character (but clearing selection is only one space away). delete a word: * vim: dw * kak: wd delete a character: * vim: x * kak: d or d copy a line: * vim: yy * kak: xy global replace: * vim: :%s/word/replacement * kak: %swordcreplacement join line with next: * vim: J * kak: alt-J delete to line end: * vim: d$ * kak: alt-ld or gld
