**fzf.kak** is a plugin for [Kakoune][7] editor, that brings integration with
[fzf][8] tool. This plugin is being tested against Kakoune master branch.
**fzf.kak** also supports [skim][9], which can be used via `fzf_implementation`
option.

## Installation

Now you can proceed to the [configuration][23] section.
### Without plugin manager
This plugin consists of several parts which are "modules", that provide
different functions to plugin. There's central module that must be loaded
before any other module, named `fzf.kak`, so in order to properly load
**fzf.kak** plugin, you need to source it in your `kakrc`.

load only needed modules, to keep your configuration rather simple, or load
every module if you need all plugin abilities:

need a base module for `fzf`, called `fzf-vcs.kak` and its sub-modules for each
VCS. There are plenty of version control systems, so modules come in handy.

Order of sourcing files should not matter, but it is preferable to source main
script first, and then the modules. This may look complex, but it makes plugin
more versatile. And plugin managers, like [plug.kak][11] for example, just does
all those steps for you.

## Usage
There's no default key binding to invoke `fzf`, but **fzf.kak** provides a
`fzf-mode` command that can be mapped to preferred key. You can set your own
mapping to invoke `fzf-mode`:

## Configuration
**fzf.kak** features a lot of settings via options that can be altered to change
how **fzf.kak** behaves. All settings belong to `fzf` module, so in order to
change variable values use `defer "fzf %{ ... }"` if you're using **plug.kak**,
and if not, use `hook global ModuleLoaded fzf %{ ... }`, or simply `require-module
fzf` before configuring options. Same goes for `fzf_vcs` module.

From now on I assume that you're using one of the methods listed above for all

### Default query
**fzf.kak** by default will use main selection as default query for fzf, if the
selection more than 1 character long (because cursor is simply 1-char
selection). You can disable this behavior by setting `fzf_use_main_selection` to
`false`.

### Windowing
If you're using Tmux, you do not have to worry about windowing, since fzf.kak
automatically creates all needed Tmux splits and panes for you. However in case
you're not using Tmux, fzf.kak uses `fzf_terminal_command` option to call windowing
command to create new windows. By default it is set to use `terminal` alias:
`terminal kak -c %val{session} -e "%arg{@}"`, but some terminals can provide
other aliases or commands, like `terminal-tab` in Kitty. You may want to edit
this variable accordingly to your personal preferences.

### Mappings
You can define what keys to use in `fzf` window via these options:
- `fzf_window_map` - mapping to perform an action in new window,
- `fzf_vertical_map` - mapping to perform an action in new vertical split
(Tmux),
- `fzf_vertical_map` - mapping to perform an action in new vertical split (Tmux),
- `fzf_horizontal_map` - mapping to perform an action in new horizontal split.
These options should be set to work with fzf `--expect` parameter, so check out
fzf documentation on this.

You can configure what command to use to search for files, and it's arguments.
Supported tools are [GNU Find][12], [The Silver Searcher][13], [ripgrep][14],
[fd][15]. GNU find is used by default, but you can switch to another one. There
are some default values for those, so you can just state the name of the tool:

set option like this:

```
This can give you the idea of how this plugin can be customized. Most of
**fzf.kak** modules provide settings for their commands, so you should check all
`fzf-optionname` available in prompt mode. All such options are well documented,
so listing those in readme would make it unnecessary long.

### Preview
**fzf.kak** tries to automatically detect where to show preview window,
depending on aspect ratio of new terminal window. By default if the doubled
height is bigger than the width, preview occupies upper 60% of space. If height
is smaller than the width, preview is shown at the right side.

This script supports these version control systems: Git, Subversion, GNU Bazaar,
and Mercurial. By default <kbd>v</kbd> mapping from `fzf` mode will detect your
version control system and open `fzf` window for you. If you wish to explicitly
use some particular VCS command, you can use <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>v</kbd>
mapping, which includes all supported VCS shortcuts.

### Projects
**fzf.kak** can store and load your projects. For that It creates a hidden file
in your `%val{config}` called `.fzf-projects`. You can change the location of
this file and its name with `fzf_project_file` option. You also can choose which
method to use when storing projects. You can either convert your `$HOME` to `~/`
or use plain `$HOME` in your path. This behavior is configured with
`fzf_project_use_tilda` option, which accepts `true` and `false` values.

`fzf` command can be used from prompt mode and for [scripting][20].
It supports these arguments:
- `-kak-cmd`: A Kakoune command that is applied to `fzf` resulting value, e.g.
`edit -existing`, `change-directory`, e.t.c.
- `-multiple-cmd`: A Kakoune command that is applied when multiple items
selected to every item but the first one.
- `-items-cmd`: A command that is used as a pipe to provide list of values to
`fzf`. For example, if we want to pass list of all files recursively in
current directory, we would use `-items-cmd %{find .}` which will be piped to
`fzf` tool.
- `-fzf-impl`: Override `fzf` implementation variable. Can be used if command
needs to provide a different arguments to `fzf`. See [sk-grep.kak][21] as
example.

handling.
- `-preview-cmd`: A preview command.
Can be used to override default preview handling.
- `-preview`: If specified, command will ask for preview.
- `-filter`: A pipe which will be applied to result provided by `fzf`. For
example, if we are returning such line `3 hello, world!` from `fzf`, and we
are interested only in the first field which is `3`, we can use `-filter %{cut
-f 1}`. Basically everything what `fzf` returns is piped to this filter
command. See [fzf-search.kak][22] as example.

If you want to contribute to **fzf.kak** by adding a module, you can submit one
by providing a pull request, or just open a feature request and we'll see what

### Writing a module
You can write a module for **fzf.kak**. To create one, simply define a function
in separate file, located in `rc/modules/`, and named after the
function. **fzf.kak** provides a general purpose command, that can be called
with some Kakoune command as first parameter, and command that provides list of
items for `fzf` as a second parameter. Third optional parameter is for defining
extra arguments for `fzf` itself, like additional keybindings.

Overall module structure is:
* Define a `fzf-command` command
* Prepare list of items for `fzf`, or define an item command
* call `fzf` command and pass needed arguments to it.
Of course modules can and will be more complex, since a good module checks if
command for providing item list is available on user's machine, and supports
various settings inside it. Feel free to look how existing modules are made.
