Hi,

here's my keybinds

declare-user-mode phantom
map global user p ": enter-user-mode -lock phantom<ret>" -docstring "phantom-selection"
map global phantom <a-)> ": phantom-sel-add-selection<ret><esc><esc><esc>" -docstring "add selection"
map global phantom <a-(> ";: phantom-sel-iterate-next<ret>" -docstring "clear selection"
map global phantom ) ": phantom-sel-iterate-next<ret>" -docstring "next"
map global phantom ( ": phantom-sel-iterate-prev<ret>" -docstring "prev"
#map global phantom % ": phantom-sel-select-all<ret>" -docstring "select all" #bugs
map global phantom <a-%> ": phantom-sel-select-all<ret>" -docstring "select all"

the problem is <a-(>. Doing ; to drop selection and then going to next one still leaves me with one character selected where the cursor was. Is there a way around this?

I'll explain what I mean with an example. But the gist is to support something similar to what counts do for ".

This is a snippet from rc/base/restructuredtext.kak:

add-highlighter shared/restructuredtext/c       ref c
add-highlighter shared/restructuredtext/cabal   ref cabal
add-highlighter shared/restructuredtext/clojure ref clojure
add-highlighter shared/restructuredtext/coffee  ref coffee
add-highlighter shared/restructuredtext/cpp     ref cpp

Say we wanted to create this from scratch. We would set it up so we have five copies, with the cursors at []:

add-highlighter shared/restructuredtext/[] ref []
add-highlighter shared/restructuredtext/[] ref []
add-highlighter shared/restructuredtext/[] ref []
add-highlighter shared/restructuredtext/[] ref []
add-highlighter shared/restructuredtext/[] ref []

Now I want to do 2interactive-itersel, where 2 means group them two by two. So the first group is the first two selections, second group selections 3 and 4, and so on. Similar to how the count works for ".

Another use-case is if I want to make ad-hoc changes to each of them, but still within the groups. Here's a contrived example where c is changed to c-family, andcabal to hs-cabal, and so on:

add-highlighter shared/restructuredtext/c-family       ref c-family
add-highlighter shared/restructuredtext/hs-cabal   ref hs-cabal
add-highlighter shared/restructuredtext/lisp-clojure ref lisp-clojure
add-highlighter shared/restructuredtext/js-coffee  ref js-coffee
add-highlighter shared/restructuredtext/gcc-cpp     ref gcc-cpp

The idea is that I can change both occurences of e.g. c to c-family in one go if I place two cursors per line similar to the previous example, and then going proceed to the second two.

When cloning the entire repo in autoload (which is what plugin managers do), I get this error

>>>
/home/johannes/.config/kak/bundle/plugins/kakoune-phantom-selection/test.kak:1:1: 'try': 2:5: 'source': /home/johannes/git/kak-lsp/phantom-selection.kak: No such file or directory
bundle: couldn't source /home/johannes/.config/kak/bundle/plugins/kakoune-phantom-selection/test.kak
shell stderr: <<<

with this particular setup ("bundle" plugin manager), it leaves phantom-selection commands disfunctional.

Can we rename test.kak to something without the kak file extension, so it's not sourced automatically?

Face to highlight cursor under phantom selections. Maybe also to highlight eol.
