This is a binary server that interfaces tree-sitter with kakoune.

Important note: by default, no colorscheme supporting tree-sitter is set for you. You have to pick one or write your own. See this section from the man for further information.

#Features

• [x] Semantic highlighting.
  • Automatically detects whether a buffer language type can be highlighted.
  • Removes any default highlighter and replaces them with a tree-sitter based.
• [x] Semantic selections (types, functions, parameters, comments, tests, etc.)
  • Similar features to f, ?, <a-/>, etc.
  • Full object mode support (i.e. <a-i>, {, <a-]>, etc.)
• [ ] Indents
• [ ] Incremental parsing
• [x] Fetch, compile and install grammars / queries with ease (via the use of the ktsctl controller companion)
• [x] Ships with no mappings, defined options, but allows to use well-crafted values, user-modes, mappings and commands by picking them by hand.
• [x] Transformation-oriented; actual data (i.e. grammars, queries, etc.) can be used from any sources.
• [x] Shell completions.
