what is kakoune fr?

Kakoune is a modal text editor in the same family as Vim: it switches between a mode for writing text and a mode for navigating and editing. The key difference is how it thinks about editing. Where Vim builds operations around a cursor position, Kakoune builds everything around selections. Every change you make works on one or more selected ranges, and you can have many selections active at once. The multiple-selection feature is central to how Kakoune works. You can select all regex matches within a block of text, split a selection by a pattern, or discard selections that do not contain a match. This means you can apply the same change in dozens of places simultaneously without writing a macro. To rename a word across a paragraph, for example, you select the paragraph, narrow the selection to all instances of that word, and type the replacement once. Kakoune uses a client-server architecture. A server process holds the editing session and multiple clients can connect to it. You can create splits and panes in tmux or your window manager, with each pane acting as a separate client on the same session. This fits naturally into a terminal-centered workflow. Configuration uses a dedicated scripting language with support for hooks, custom commands, key remapping, and color schemes. Kakoune highlights syntax for many languages, offers contextual completion as you type, and lets you pipe selected text through any external shell program. The editor is written in C++ and runs on Linux, macOS, and Cygwin. Packages are available through most Linux distribution repositories and through Homebrew on macOS. Building from source requires a C++20 compatible compiler.
