@Delapouite I wonder if POSIX tools are allowed.

It would have been a challenge to compete if the indices were different.

According to VimGolf rules, external tools are not allowed. I wonder how they managed to do [this](http://www.vimgolf.com/challenges/53fdb108658ede0002599a8f) challenge with 19 key without `reverse` and `sort`

Vim has a [:sort](https://neovim.io/doc/user/change.html#sorting) command.

Yes. This golfing session was more a way to demonstrate some aspects where kakoune really shines. It could even belong to the “recipe” section.

POSIX tools should be allowed IMO. It’s cheating to implement `:sort` and don’t allow `|sort`.
