This script provides YouCompleteMe support via ycmd in Kakoune.

It works for C/C++ with the clang completer, other languages are not tested yet.

To use that script, link to it in ~/.config/kak/autoload, and set options in your kakrc:

• ycmd_path: path of the ycmd python directory, on a cloned ycmd repo, that would be $REPO/ycmd

• ycmd_port: (defaulting to 12345) port to use for ycmd.

The cpp part of ycmd must be compiled manually, with clang support.

Ycmd completion can be enabled with ycmd-enable-autocomplete command.

To automate its activation, use a hook:

• jq for json parsing

• OpenSSL for HMAC validation

• base64 for key encoding.

• curl for http access
