kak

Kakoune is a mode-based code editor implementing the "multiple selections" paradigm. Data can be selected and simultaneously edited in different locations, using multiple selections; users can also connect to the same session for collaborative editing. More information: https://kakoune.org.
  • Open a file and enter normal mode, to execute commands:
    kak {{path/to/file}}
  • Enter insert mode from normal mode, to write text into the file:
    i
  • Escape insert mode, to go back to normal mode:
    <Escape>
  • Replace all instances of "foo" in the current file with "bar":
    %s{{foo}}<Enter>c{{bar}}<Escape>
  • Unselect all secondary selections, and keep only the main one:
    <Space>
  • Search for numbers and select the first two:
    /\d+<Enter>N
  • Insert the contents of a file:
    !cat {{path/to/file}}<Enter>
  • Save the current file:
    :w<Enter>
