# editors/kakoune - The NetBSD Packages Collection

Experimental modal code editor

    Kakoune is a code editor that implements Vi's "keystrokes as a text editing
    language" model. As it's also a modal editor, it is somewhat similar to the
    Vim editor (after which Kakoune was originally inspired).

    Kakoune can operate in two modes, normal and insertion. In insertion mode,
    keys are directly inserted into the current buffer. In normal mode, keys
    are used to manipulate the current selection and to enter insertion mode.

    Kakoune has a strong focus on interactivity, most commands provide immediate
    and incremental results, while still being competitive (as in keystroke
    count) with Vim.

    Kakoune works on selections, which are oriented, inclusive range of characters,
    selections have an anchor and a cursor character. Most commands move both
    of them, except when extending selection where the anchor character stays
    fixed and the cursor one moves around.
