Make you makefile more useful in kakoune,
kake-mode:
enter kake-mode, which will map keys acording to the first Makefile
found while walking back to the root dir
kake-info:
show the mappings avaiable for kake-mode along
with their documentation, which is taken from the first comment
block on top of the target in a scratch buffer
my recommendation is to map <leader-m> to enter kake-mode, when in this mode
you will get the info of each target
by changing the option kake_how, you can define if it does automatic mapping
based on the makefile targets, or if you want to look for a .kake file right
besides the first found makefile where you would manually map the targets
e.g.:
# .kake
run -> r p
test -> t
here run will automatically prompt when pressing r in kake-mode, while test will
run instantly
you can also set kake_how to inline, this way when parsing your makefile, kake
will try to look for a <target> -> <key> <flag>* pattern on the first comment block
on top of the target to decide how it should
work, when using auto though, the default is to always prompt so you can
set the variables, you can redefine this setting kake_auto_prompt_always to false,
also, inline will default to auto in case it doesn't find something resembling a kake
configuration line in the comments, if the target key is already taken that target
wont be loaded, kake will asume that since you selected inline, you are aware of what
you want, being inline just a more convenient way to configure things in comparison to
having a .kake file, you can set the option kake_inline_strict to true to make inline only load
targets that have the kake config line and discard the ones that don't.
