kakoune-i3

kakoune plugin to create predictable clients with the i3 window manager.

Install

Add i3.kak to your autoload dir: ~/.config/kak/autoload/.

Or via plug.kak:

plug 'delapouite/kakoune-i3' %{
  # Suggested mapping
  map global user 3 ': enter-user-mode i3<ret>' -docstring 'i3 mode'
}

As it depends on the x11 module, add this line to your kakrc:

set-option global windowing_modules 'x11'

Usage

5 commands available:

• i3-new new window in the current container
• i3-new-left ← new window on the left
• i3-new-right → new window on the right
• i3-new-up ↑ new window above
• i3-new-down ↓ new window below

New windows display a cloned view: same buffer, same line.

A i3 user-mode is also declared. With the mapping in the Install section above:

,3k will open a new window above the current one.
