Or install this plugin any other preferred way. ### 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.
Assuming that you've cloned **fzf.kak** repository to your Kakoune configuration folder:
```sh
source "~/.config/kak/fzf.kak/rc/fzf.kak" # loading base fzf module
```
This will load base fzf module, but It can't do anything on it's own. You can load only needed modules, to
keep your configuration rather simple, or load every module if you need all plugin abilities:
```sh
source "~/.config/kak/plugins/fzf.kak/rc/fzf-modules/fzf-file.kak" # fzf file chooser
source "~/.config/kak/plugins/fzf.kak/rc/fzf-modules/fzf-buffer.kak" # switching buffers with fzf
source "~/.config/kak/plugins/fzf.kak/rc/fzf-modules/fzf-search.kak" # search within file contents
source "~/.config/kak/plugins/fzf.kak/rc/fzf-modules/fzf-cd.kak" # change server's working directory
source "~/.config/kak/plugins/fzf.kak/rc/fzf-modules/fzf-ctags.kak" # search for tag in your project ctags file
```
The same principle is applied to handling different version control systems. You need a base module for fzf,
called `fzf-vcs.kak` and its submodules for each VCS. There are plenty of VC systems, so modules come in handy.
```sh
source "~/.config/kak/plugins/fzf.kak/rc/fzf-modules/fzf-vcs.kak" # VCS base module
```
So if you never work with, say, GNU Bazaar, or Mercurial you can remove them from your configuration.
```sh
source "~/.config/kak/plugins/fzf.kak/rc/fzf-modules/VCS/fzf-bzr.kak" # GNU Bazaar support
source "~/.config/kak/plugins/fzf.kak/rc/fzf-modules/VCS/fzf-git.kak" # Git support module
source "~/.config/kak/plugins/fzf.kak/rc/fzf-modules/VCS/fzf-hg.kak" # Mercurial VCS
source "~/.config/kak/plugins/fzf.kak/rc/fzf-modules/VCS/fzf-svn.kak" # Subversion module
```
You can see that we load less nested modules first, and then go deeper and deeper. Besides that order of
files within single depth level doesn't matter. This may look complex, but it makes plugin more versatile.
And plugin managers, like [plug.kak](https://github.com/andreyorst/plug.kak) for example, just does all
those steps for you.
## Usage ## 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. There's no default key binding to invoke fzf, but **fzf.kak** provides a `fzf-mode` command that can be mapped to preferred key.
