I don’t generally like to encourage any form of cargo culting – but there is a lot of great stuff in this kakrc. We can use this thread to pull out interesting stuff, if really interesting and stand alone put under Recipes.

> `map global normal = ':prompt math: %{exec "a%val{text}<lt>esc>|bc<lt>ret>"}<ret>'`

Today I learned about `%val{text}`.

> `define-command find -params 1 -shell-candidates %{ ag -g '' --ignore "$kak_opt_ignored_files" } %{ edit %arg{1} }`

…OK, that’s pretty great. I’ll steal that right now (but of course I’ll use ripgrep instead of ag).

I like to browse other kakrcs, plenty of new things to learn (and steal 😉) Recently I had found [SolitudeSF’s config](https://github.com/SolitudeSF/dot/blob/master/kak/kakrc), and I was inspired to remap space to ,

I know what these cases are – not sure I get the value of the defs?

[https://github.com/shachaf/kak](https://github.com/shachaf/kak) is worth adding to the list – I might roll these up to the top level.

I like [this one](https://github.com/mawww/config/commit/699b2bf2d9937158b2247fb220367c4669062039) from @mawww:

```auto
define-command delete-buffers-matching -params 1 %{
  evaluate-commands -buffer * %{
    evaluate-commands %sh{ case "$kak_buffile" in $1) echo delete-buffer ;; esac }
  }
}

```

[single-process-pipe](https://github.com/occivink/config/blob/master/.config/kak/single-process-pipe.kak) from @occivink is also interesting. With a few checks it could be quite robust.
