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.

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.
