note

kakoune master branch has builtin zig highlighting, afaik it isn't in a release yet but: https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/pull/3422

thank you so much, ifreund

(what is) zig-kak

wip plugin providing zig support in kakoune

this only provides syntax highlighting.

using zig fmt in kakoune

requires this edit to kakrc

hook global WinSetOption filetype=zig %{
    set-option window formatcmd 'zig fmt --color off --stdin'
    hook buffer BufWritePre .* %{format}
}
