kakoune-extra-filetypes

=======================

This repository is a collection of https://github.com/mawww/kakoune[Kakoune]

highlighters for file formats that are not supported out of the box.

Installation

------------

The following will deploy all the highlighters to

`/usr/local/share/kakoune-extra-filetypes/rc` by default:

```

# make install

```

Tweak the values of the `DESTDIR` and `PREFIX` variables according to your

needs, e.g.:

```

$ make DESTDIR=/tmp/test PREFIX=/usr

```

Usage

-----

If you've installed the extra highlighters through your distribution's

package manager, they might be stored in a directory other than the

default one (c.f. above).

Autoload

~~~~~~~~

The "autoload" method lets the editor load the entire collection.

If you don't have an `autoload` directory already, you'll need to

create it, and make sure all the builtin scripts (provided by the

https://github.com/mawww/kakoune[Kakoune] editor) are loaded:

```

$ mkdir -p "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-${HOME}/.config}"/kak/autoload

$ ln -s /usr/share/kak/rc "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-${HOME}/.config}"/kak/autoload

```

Note that your distribution might have installed the editor's scripts in

a directory that isn't `/usr/share/kak`, you'll have to modify this path

according if that's the case.

Now create an additional symbolic link in `autoload` that points at the

extra highlighters:

```

$ ln -s /usr/local/share/kakoune-extra-filetypes/rc "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-${HOME}/.config}"/kak/autoload

```

Individual loading

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you don't want to create an `autoload` directory, you can load all the

highlighters with the following code (to append to your `kakrc` file):

```

evaluate-commands %sh{

    find "${kak_runtime}"/../kakoune-extra-filetypes/rc -type f -name \*\\.kak -exec printf 'source %s\n' '{}' \;

}

```

You can also individually pick which highlighters to load in your `kakrc`

file, with the `source` command:

```

source %val{runtime}/../kakoune-extra-filetypes/rc/…

```
