Kakoune – A Modal Text Editor

Re:Kakoune – A Modal Text Editor by snazz on Tuesday March 05, 2019 @04:13PM (#19314303)

Is there an Evil mode equivalent for using these keybindings in Emacs? In fact, can Evil be extended to support Kakoune bindings?

I’d like to try out the paradigm without losing my current productivity.

Of course. I just don’t think it has been done yet. Was tempted to try it myself.

I can't tell from the readme. What keybindings are available in Kakoune that aren't in Vi/Evil?

In its most basic form, the order is reversed so that the selection is specified before the action, like visual mode in Vim but on all the time and a little more powerful. It feels much more interactive than the vi design.

That actually sounds pretty neat.
