Alternative key counts for Kakoune.

Installation

counted.kak depends on pykak. If using plug.kak:

plug "tomKPZ/pykak"
plug "tomKPZ/counted.kak"

Configuration

To set up recommended keybindings:

counted-motion-add-mappings
counted-keep-sel-add-mappings
counted-insert-add-mappings

Vim-style motion counts

In Vim, 5w operates on 5 words, but in Kakoune it selects the 5th word. To use Vim-style motions in Kakoune, use counted-motion-add-mappings [keys]. keys defaults to behjklwx if not provided.

Alternative keep/remove selection

In Kakoune, 5<space> is equivalent to 5)<space>. With alternative keep/remove selections, 5<space> will keep every 5th selection, and 5<a-space> will drop every 5th selection. To use alternative keep/remove selections, use counted-keep-sel-add-mappings [keep-sel-key] [remove-sel-key]. If keep-sel-key is not provided, it defaults to <space>. If remove-sel-key is not provided, it defaults to <a-space>.

Counted insert

In Kakoune, 5i is equivalent to i. With counted inserts, 5i will begin 5 parallel inserts. To use counted inserts, use counted-insert-add-mappings [keys]. If keys is not provided, it defaults to iaIA.
