In the last couple of days, I put together this little plugin to prototype and develop Godot projects from Kakoune. We already got auto-completion with [kak-lsp](https://github.com/kak-lsp/kak-lsp/), but it’s a hassle to switch between coding in Kakoune and running projects from Godot. What this plugin does is: - introduces the `:godot path_to_scene_file` command to run the given Godot scene file - and `:godot-current` that tries to find the scene file with the same name as the current buffer name and if it does it tries to open it with Godot. That’s all 🙂 > **[GitHub - razcore-rad/godot.kak: Prototype and develop Godot projects from...](https://github.com/razcore-rad/godot.kak)** > > Prototype and develop Godot projects from Kakoune. - GitHub - razcore-rad/godot.kak: Prototype and develop Godot projects from Kakoune. ---

Oh and by the way, does anyone know how can I get Kakoune to find the docs from plugins installed with `plug.kak`? So in my case I wrote `godot.kak.asciidoc` which would be located at `$HOME/.config/kak/plugins/godot.kak/godot.kak.asciidoc` after plugin installation. But my understanding is that Kakoune only searches in `$HOME/.config/kak/autoload` for documentation 😕 ---

it also looks for other places as you can see in the link below, close to line 177, you could modify it or override it from your personal kakrc, or I guess symlinks could work too… you will find in the tools dir a lot of things from which to take inspiration from. > ---

Yeah, but this means changing Kakoune’s source code. I’m interested in this change so users of plugins have an easy time “installing” the docs in an official way. I guess I’ll have to submit a PR to add custom doc paths and see if it gets accepted. ---

As an alternative, you might consider patching `plug.kak` to install documentation in the places where Kakoune expects to find it. ---

I saw a discussion about this in the `plug.kak` issue tracker or somewhere, but they couldn’t get a consensus on how to handle this on the plugin side cause there isn’t a specific plugin official folder layout or anything like that. I think it’s better to add extra search paths in kakoune. I patched `doc.kak` on my end to do that, but I don’t know if that will ever be accepted in the app 🙂 If there are others interested in the feature maybe with a few comments we can get it merged? Or if there’s a better idea I’m all ears. > > > This PR adds the \`str-list\` \`docsextrapaths\` option so we can add extra search p…aths, for example when using \`plug.kak\`.

I mean, there _is_ an official plugin folder layout, it’s “put all the files in the autoload directory”. `plug.kak` goes to a lot of effort to avoid that for `.kak` files, I’m sure they can figure out a way to avoid it (or automate it) for `.asciidoc` files too. ---

BTW @razcore-rad do you use kak-lsp with Godot? I found this configuration works for ```auto [language.gdscript] filetypes = ["gd", "gdscript"] roots = [".import", "project.godot"] command = "nc" args = ["localhost", "6008"] ``` Jump to definition on variable that is function argument works kinda wonky (jumps to end of funtion signature) but that might be an issue with Godot LSP implementation. ---

Sure, I use kak-lsp, but I don’t really use advanced features so I haven’t found any major issues with the Godot LSP. Let the kak-lsp peeps know about it, they fixed an issue I had with the Godot LSP real quick cause it was something that had to be configured on kak-lsp side. Include the debug log file and maybe you at least get an idea if it’s kak-lsp or Godot LSP.
