kak-ansi

Kakoune support for rendering ANSI-colored text.

Installing

You’ll need a C99-compatible C compiler. The Kakoune plugin will build the filter program automatically if it’s not already built on load. If you want to build it manually instead:

$ make

Usage

This plugin provides ansi-render, ansi-render-selection, ansi-clear, ansi-enable and ansi-disable commands. In addition, when Kakoune is used as a pager, it will automatically execute ansi-enable in the *stdin* buffer to process escape codes when idle.

ansi-render

Removes ANSI escapes from the buffer and adds highlighting for regions that were ANSI-colored.

ansi-render-selection

Removes ANSI escapes from selections and adds highlighting for regions that were ANSI-colored.

ansi-clear

Clear highlighting added by the previous two commands.

ansi-enable

Configures current buffer to run ansi-render on the new data received through fifo.

ansi-disable

Disables automatic rendering of new fifo data.

Contributing

New features and bug fixes should have test coverage in tests/tests.bash where possible. Tests can be run with a modern bash:

$ bash tests/tests.bash
