= Hooks
|
|
|
|
== Description
|
|
|
|
Commands can be registered to be executed when certain events arise. To
|
|
register a hook use the following command:
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
hook [-group <group>] <scope> <hook_name> <filtering_regex> <commands>
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
*scope* can be one of *global*, *buffer* or *window* (See
|
|
<<scopes#,`:doc scopes`>>).
|
|
|
|
*command* is a string containing the commands to execute when the hook
|
|
is called.
|
|
|
|
For example to automatically use line numbering with .cc files, use the
|
|
following command:
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
hook global WinCreate .*\.cc %{ add-highlighter number_lines }
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If *group* is given, make this hook part of the named group. Groups are used
|
|
for removing hooks with the following command:
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
remove-hooks <scope> <group>
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
A call to the command above will remove every hooks in *scope* that are part
|
|
of the given *group*.

|

|
|
some hooks will not consider underlying scopes depending on what context
|
|
they are bound to be run into, e.g. the `BufWritePost` hook is a buffer
|
|
hook, and will not consider the `window` scope.
|
|
|
|
While defining hook commands with a `%sh{}` block, some additional env
|
|
vars are available:
|
|
|
|
* `kak_hook_param`: filtering text passed to the currently executing hook
|
|
|
|
* `kak_hook_param_capture_N`: text captured by the hook filter regex capture N
|
|
|
|
== Disabling Hooks
|
|
|
|
Any normal mode command can be prefixed with `\ ` which will disable hook
|
|
execution for the duration for the command (including the duration of modes
|
|
the command could move to, so `\i` will disable hooks for the whole insert
|
|
session).
|
|
|
|
As autoindentation is implemented in terms of hooks, this can be used to
|
|
disable it when pasting text.
|
|
|
|
A less temporary alternative is to set the `disabled_hooks` option which
|
|
accepts a regex describing which hooks won't be executed.
|
|
For example indentation hooks can be disabled with '.*-indent'.
|
|
|
|
Finally, hook execution can be disabled while using the `execute-keys` or
|
|
`evaluate-commands` commands by using the `-no-hooks` switch.
