Feature
Kakoune's built in docs are helpful, however I find they are not particularly discoverable if you don't actually know what category to search for.
For example, in setting up kakoune-lsp, you add this line to your config:
eval %sh{kak-lsp}
Seeing this for the first time, I was curious how %sh
works. Doing a :doc sh
or :doc %sh
gives me nothing. Doing :doc eval
takes me to doc-execeval
which makes no mention of %sh
. I had to actually peruse random docs to discover it's described under :doc expansions
, which was really unclear to me. I imagine myself and others new to Kakoune will end up running into more things like that. I think it would be useful if at least one of two things could happen here:
- Allow searching through all docs, similar to vim's
:helpgrep
. Maybe:docgrep
? - Increase the number of things considered as "topics" for
:doc
I think both of these would be useful, but I imagine something like :docgrep
would be easier to immediately implement.
