About
These short movies above, called asciicasts, show how to efficiently perform text-editing operations with Kakoune.
They are auto-generated from VimGolf games, resolved by mawww (Kakoune's author) and contributors from the community.
For each challenge, the goal is to start from a document IN and transform in into a document OUT, using the less amount of keystrokes, displayed below the player.
The current website (source) purpose is to help people learn new way to resolve common text-editing scenarios. Enjoy!

ʳ: alt reverse direction
ʷ: alt uses WORD instead of word (that is non blank instead of [a-z_])
ᵐ: move, shifted will append to selection, alt will use alternate behaviour.
ˡ: alt goes to begin/end of line
ᵍ: the g key prefix different goto location functionalities, such as going
to begin/end of the file, opening the file whose name is selected, etc…
ᵛ: the v key prefix different view related functionalities, such as scrolling
