Gemini plugin for kakoune!

Plugins

Thats right! I made another EI AI plugin for kakoune, lately I feel gpt is kinda trash tbh, so I ported my plugin to use gemini: GitHub - eko234/kakkak

Example config is:

plug "eko234/kakkak" do %{
  go install
} config %{
  kakkakreifywith GEMINI_API_KEY
  define-command gback %{
    set global kakkakstarted false
    try %{
      db! chatkakkak
    }
    kakkakreifywith GEMINI_API_KEY
  }
  gback
  map global user i ": gpt "
}

If you have a 1 char size selection It will just take the prompt you add after the gpt command, but if you have a +1 char text selection, it will append that to the prompt you write after the gpt command.

This gave me the idea to build a simple version just using kakscript

define-command gemini -params .. -docstring "Query Gemini AI with optional prompt" %{
    evaluate-commands -draft %{
        # If nothing selected (single char), select from current line upwards
        try %{
            execute-keys '<a-k>..<ret>'  # Check if selection is more than 1 char
        } catch %{
            execute-keys 'x<a-h>Gg'  # Select from current line to beginning
        }
        # Save selection to register g for context
        execute-keys '"gy'
    }
    evaluate-commands %sh{
        if [ -z "$GEMINI_API_KEY" ]; then
            echo "fail 'GEMINI_API_KEY not set'"
            exit
        fi

        # Build the query from the context registry g
        if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then
            full_query=$(printf '%s\n\n%s' "$kak_reg_g" "$@")
        else
            full_query="$kak_reg_g"
        fi

        # Escape for JSON using jq
        json_query=$(printf '%s' "$full_query" | jq -Rs .)

        response=$(curl -s "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.5-flash:generateContent" \
            -H "x-goog-api-key: $GEMINI_API_KEY" \
            -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
            -d "{\"contents\":[{\"parts\":[{\"text\":$json_query}]}]}" | \
            jq -r '.candidates[0].content.parts[0].text // empty')

        if [ -n "$response" ]; then
            echo "execute-keys 'o<esc>'"
            printf 'set-register z %s%s%s\n' '%§' "$response" '§'
            echo "execute-keys '\"zP'"
        else
            echo "fail 'No response from Gemini'"
        fi
    }
}

Of course, you can change that curl command to whichever provider you prefer, and it should work, too. What do you think?
I am hoping @alexherbo2 will look at it and simplify it.
