    You could dive into installing kak-lsp, which will provide the code intelligence features you want. Kakoune doesn't do windowing on it's own, so your going to need to rely on something like tmux or a terminal emulator that does similar, such as wezterm, or even a tiling window manager (which is what is being used in the video). Kakoune really needs a lot of time invested to configure well though.
  • Massive preludes: why?
    2 projects | /r/rust | 12 Oct 2021
    Why do you need vscode? Kakoune supports code actions, so this should work in the editor with the best editing model ever. See lsp-code-actions from https://github.com/kak-lsp/kak-lsp.
  • Is kakoune more lightweight than vim or minimal? Why kakoune and not vim in your opinion?

    In addition, rather than using its own full-fledged programming language for plugins or choosing to use a specific programming language, it provides a limited configuration language that's closer to a domain-specific language and to be used as a "glue" between Kakoune and programs written in any language. For example, the kak-lsp plugin uses a program written in Rust that is integrated with Kakoune with a thin wrapper of Kakoune's configuration language.

    kak-lsp doesn't print to *debug* under normal operation. If you want to check on kak-lsp, enable verbose logging as described here and tail -f the log file.
  • Currently looking for something other than vim and emacs. I have some questions for kakoune.

    So, since pretty much everything happens through a shell, you can use anything that produces an executable to write your logic. kak-lsp, for example, is written in Rust, with some kakscript to define the commands, hooks and options a user needs to interface with it.

    Powerline (and airline, as well as all plugins of that kind) offers, among other things, a GUI that helps you manage buffers and tabs. There are plugins that do just that and nothing else, which are best used alongside powerline/airline/etc, for example bufferline.
