Interactively

This plugin makes various Kakoune commands more friendly and interactive by asking questions such as ‘save changes?’ and ‘ignore write protection?’. In particular, i-quit saves you the trouble of hunting down modified buffers to save (or discard) before quitting.

Suggested configuration:

# ~/.config/kak/kakrc
plug chambln/kakoune-interactively config %{
    alias global cd i-change-directory
    alias global db i-delete-buffer
    alias global q i-quit
    alias global w i-write
    set-option global yes_or_no_instant true
}

If yes_or_no_instant is truthy then yes-or-no prompts will not wait for ret to be pressed.

You can use yes-or-no to create your own interactions. Prompts happen asynchronously, so Kakoune won’t wait for the prompt to be dismissed before continuing with the next line of the script. To work around this, yes-or-no accepts an optional parameter <final> which it evaluates after a yes or no answer is given. If the prompt is dismissed with Esc, nothing is evaluated.

Bugs and notes

• You can’t pass a filename to i-write
