Because I have stopped using Kakoune, this project will not receive active maintenance. The issues section has been closed, as I do not plan to address any issues myself. However, I welcome pull requests from anyone who encounters problems with this plugin and knows how to resolve them.

This plugin is aimed to make it easier to run and manage background processes from Kakoune editor. It provides three commands to start and stop processes:

• pstart <command>: Starts command as background process, and create FIFO buffer for that process named after process PID.
• pstop <PID>: delete process buffer and send SIGTERM signal to process.
• pkill <PID>: delete process buffer and send SIGKILL signal to process.

You can track all processes with pmanage_process_list option.

Add this to your kakrc:

plug "andreyorst/pmanage.kak"

Restart Kakoune or re-source your kakrc and call plug-install command.

Clone this repository to your autoload directory, or source pmanage.kak file from your kakrc.
