ks-mode is an Emacs major mode for editing Kerboscript, the language of the kOS Scriptable Autopilot for Kerbal Space Program.
- Syntax highlighting for Kerboscript's keywords, built-in functions and constants.
- Growing list of highlights for known object suffixes like
SHIP:VELOCITY:ORBIT
. - Strong auto-indentation. It can handle all the examples in kslib. Try
ks-indent-buffer
.
- Interaction with the kOS processor. (Think
C-c C-c
to run your script live in KSP).
Clone this repository, or just download ks.el.
If you use vanilla Emacs, you might want something like this in your
.emacs
file:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/ks-mode/")
(require 'ks)
If you use Emacs Prelude (I love it), just drop
ks.el
in ~/.emacs.d/personal
.
Perhaps one day, ks-mode will be a MELPA package, and this section will not be needed.
The default indentation size is 2 spaces. You can change it with:
(setq ks-indent 4)
Please get in touch if you have any trouble, have a feature request, or just want to say 'hi' to a fellow Kerbal Space Programmer.

If you get any value from ks-mode, then you've made my day.
If you find a bug, particularly with auto-indentation, please tell me. I will be very grateful! A snippet of Kerboscript that indents incorrectly is all that's needed.
If you're feeling adventurous however, the indentation code is covered by behavioural acceptance tests written with Cucumber. By all means write a new test if you'd like to. Should you then go on and write Lisp that causes the test to pass... well... 💚.
