This is a binary server that interfaces tree-sitter with kakoune.

Important note: by default, no colorscheme supporting tree-sitter is set for you. You have to pick one or write your own. See this section from the wiki for further information.

• Indents
• Indent guidelines
• Incremental parsing
• Fetch, compile and install grammars / queries with ease (via the use of the ktsctl controller companion)
• Ships with no mappings, defined options, but allows to use well-crafted values, user-modes, mappings and commands by picking them by hand.
• Transformation-oriented; actual data (i.e. grammars, queries, etc.) can be used from any sources.
