Where Is the Kakoune Config File?
Kakoune kakrc and autoload scripts in ~/.config/kak on Unix-like systems.
Last updated
Kakoune sources kakrc from a kak config folder at startup, autoloading scripts from the autoload subfolder. Plugins hook in through the same mechanism.
Small core, scripted surface. The whole setup is a handful of files that version-control cleanly.
Where Kakoune stores this, by platform
Linux
~/.config/kak/kakrc
Holds kakrc plus autoload scripts and colors. Same layout on macOS. Plugin managers add their own subfolders here.
Frequently asked questions
How do I configure Kakoune?
Edit kakrc (sourced at startup) and drop helper scripts into autoload. :source reloads a file without restarting; full restarts pick up everything.
