How do I disable auto-indent on Kakoune?


I don't like text editors that perform auto-indentation in my code, because of various reasons, but Kakoune seems to be hardcoded to do that? Is it possible to disable it?

I couldn't find any defined "hooks" for indent, just for autocomplete.


Solution

  • Just run :set global disabled_hooks .*-indent in your Kakoune window or put

    set global disabled_hooks .*-indent
    

    in your kakrc.

    Found the answer at https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/wiki/How-To#disable-auto-indentation, although it wasn't immediately clear what "disabled_hooks option" meant.
