kakoune-sudo-write

kakoune 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.
