Worth noting is "kak" is one of the (many) words in Dutch for "poo".
I dabble in vim and it's my editor for when I quickly want to change stuff whilst in a terminal, but not enough to be "proficient" in it. As others have noted, I feel there could be a massive gain in editing if I were to get more acquainted with the many vi commands, but the initial productivity penalty has stopped me more than once from making it my default editor. Kakoune's mental model of commands seems friendlier, so maybe it will stick :)
- athenot 10y agoHopefully this is a temporary name. Investing in branding upfront can be a waste of time but if it picks up, it might be worth a more thoughtout and friendly name.
- nerdponx 10y agoCould be `kk`
- Kareeeeem 10y agoAnd that is short for cancer in Dutch, used as a swear word.
- DamnYuppie 10y agoWhy not just "ki"?
- lisivka 10y agoSame here. «kaka» — poo/bad thing, «kakoune» — somebody who does lot of poo. :-) However, «vi» means visual, while it is the least visual editor among popular editors, so I expect by analogy that kak will be very good editor. Keep fingers crossed. :-)
