# kakoune-sudo-write

[kakoune](http://kakoune.org) plugin to save files that you do not have write permissions for. Uses `sudo` and preserves file ownership and read-write attributes.

## Setup

Add `sudo-write.kak` to your autoload dir: `~/.config/kak/autoload/`, or source it manually.

## Usage

Call the `sudo-write` command. If your password has not been cached by `sudo`, you will be prompted to input it. Upon success, the buffer is written to the file.

Note that the plugin will not work if you do not use any cache for `sudo`.

**Warning**: while the input is hidden, the password is still passed through stdin to `sudo`. Do not use this plugin if you are not comfortable with this idea.
