Replicate -- REPL Plugin for Kakoune

This plugin provides commands for REPL interaction in the Kakoune text editor.

Dependencies

• GNU Screen

Installation

Clone the repository into the autoload directory.

Usage

At first run:

:require-module replicate

One REPL

If you do not need more than one REPL, the following commands are all you need.

Start a new REPL:

:replicate-start

Send the current selection to the REPL:

:replicate-send

Multiple REPLs

If you want to have more than one REPL, you can set IDs for them. There are two ways:

1. Explicitly address one specific REPL by passing the ID as an argument to the commands.

:replicate-start julia

This starts a REPL with the ID julia. Now you can send a selection to that REPL with

:replicate-send julia

2. Set the option replicate_id for some scope.

:set-option buffer replicate_id "guile"

After that the commands replicate-start and replicate-send use the REPL with the ID guile, when they are run in that buffer.

Scratch Buffer

You can open a scratch buffer with the current filetype and replicate_id by running:

replicate-scratch

Options

• str replicate_id, default: "default"
  The name of the REPL ID that is used for the commands replicate-start and replicate-send, when they are run without any argument.

Commands

• replicate-start [<id>]:
  Start a REPL with the given ID.
  If no <id> is given the replicate_id of the current scope is used.

• replicate-scratch
  Opens a replicate scratch buffer.
  replicate_id and filetype of the current scope are used.

• replicate-send [<id>]:
  Send selection to REPL with the given ID.
  If no <id> is given the replicate_id of the current scope is used.
