kakoune learning game, app, interactive tutorial, books and video

I practiced the kak commands but feeling like not completely leveraging the power of this wonderful tool. I think it will be great to have some games, tools, books and video tutorials to use this text editor proficiently.

For example,

  1. To be seasoned in vim commands there is a game called https://vim-adventures.com/
  2. VimTutor is an application that teaches you how to use Vim .
  3. There is interactive tutorial like https://www.openvim.com/tutorial.html
  4. There are books (cookbooks) to learn and use vim.
  5. There are also tons of video tutorials to learn vim.

At this moment we are in desperate need of at least two things -

  1. cookbook/recipe section (or something like that) in the documentation. Something like https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/wiki/Migrating-from-Vim-popular-plugins which addresses real usecases.
  2. kakoune youtube/dtube/bitchute channel.

I just installed Kakoune and had to google to find that there is VimTutor like file.. I think it would be nice to have it integrated somehow to the editor. Maybe make it accessible with a command and add it to the readme.

The closest thing to VimTutor is the TRAMPOLINE doc, and the closest thing to a cookbook would be the Recipes & Guides section of the forum.

It would definitely be nice to have all those other things, but creating them is difficult. Firstly, it takes a lot of time and energy, and secondly I (for example) have been using Kakoune for so long I've kind of forgotten what it was like to learn it in the first place. I encourage you to drop by the forum or the IRC channel and chat about any tasks you think could be done more efficiently, or just take inspiration from reading about what other people have done.
