Tug - Shell Commands for Kakoune

Hi!

I wanted to share my plugin, tug. It’s a collection of some basic file commands, that act on both buffers and the filesystem, keeping them in sync:

:mv [target] - Move the current file and rename the buffer

:rename [target] - Rename the current file (keeping it in the same directory)

:cp [target] - Copy the current file

:mkdir - Make directories for the current buffer

:chmod [mode] - Change file modes or Access Control Lists

:rm - Remove the current file and buffer

It includes a tmv shell script that can be used within a connect.kak session. It works exactly like mv, but also synchronizes file name changes with any files that may be open in kak buffers.

I hope you find it useful, as I have so far. Of course, let me know if you run into any issues!
