Kaktree - interactive file tree in your Kakoune

andreyorst · June 17, 2019, 9:05am

I just want to present my new plugin: Kaktree

It’s simple filetree that supports folding directories, and can open files, change working root, etc. This isn’t full featured file manager, just a simple tree viewer with some interactive capabilities.

Misclick from mobile, meant to be hand.

Well done! Could you mention in readme it requires master branch build of Kakoune? Some of us are stuck with six moths old stable version

andreyorst · June 18, 2019, 8:14am

oh, totally forgot about it! Sure I’ll add this info.

*hugs* I know that feel, I’m using stable Kakoune on mobile, because it can’t build master

Important update. Now kaktree remembers directory states, so refreshing the tree or folding directories now doesn’t loose tree state! More features to come soon.

Huge thanks to @topisani for contributing the solution for a problem I could not solve myself for a long time!

Thanks Andrey, another great plugin.
A readlink work around for those not using the linux readlink is:
my $real_path = `realpath -m – $path`;

andreyorst/kaktree/blob/master/perl/kaktree.pl#L33


my $expanded_paths = $ENV{"kak_quoted_opt_kaktree__expanded_paths"} || '';
my $sort = $ENV{"kak_opt_kaktree_sort"};
my $indent_str;


my $extra_indent = (defined $_[2]) ? $_[2] : 1;


for my $i (1 .. ($indent * $extra_indent)) {
    $indent_str .= " ";
}
my $hidden_arg = ($hidden eq "true") ? "-A" : "";
my $real_path = `readlink -m -- $path`;
chomp(my @input = `ls -lF $hidden_arg $real_path`);


# remove first line containing `total ...'
if ($input[0] =~ /total\s+\d+/){
    shift(@input);
}


my $input_size = scalar @input;


if ($root ne "") {

Cheers guys.

Thanks for this @andreyorst! This is the best interactive file exporer plugin I have found for Kakoune. For anyone coming from vim/neovim this is a true alternative to NERDtree.

Some very minor modifications were necessary to get it to work on Darwin in combination with kitty terminal. Folder icons are from NerdFont - FiraCode (see fork at https://github.com/1g0rb0hm/kaktree):

Kaktree now supports both readling -m and realpath -m based on OS type

It is now possible to select client in which file should be visited:

New shortcut was added for this feature: Alt+Ret
