"new" runs "kak -c" which opens a recently used buffer. More often
than not, I rather want to preserve the calling client's buffer and
selections. For example I might select a word and run "new" followed by
"grep" on the selected word. If the selection is preserved I can use
"new grep". A similar scenario is "new lsp-definition".
Make "new" use the calling client's buffer and selections to support
such scenarios. Center the viewport with vv, matching
edit <file> <line>
.Vim does this in
<c-w><c-v>
.Another scenario is when I want to look at two regions from a file,
side-by-side.
