 # kage-mode
+
 An emacs mode for the kage shader language
+
+![Screenshot](https://github.com/TLINDEN/kage-mode/blob/main/.github/assets/screenshot.png)
+
+The mode provides all the features of [go-mode](https://github.com/dominikh/go-mode.el).
+
+Please note, that you can't use
+[lsp-mode](https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode) with kage-mode
+though, because the go-backend doesn't support it.
+
+# Install
+
+Copy the file `kage-mode.el` into some directory in your `load-path`.
+
+A Melpa package will be available in the future.
+
+# Configuration
+
+This is my configuration for kage-mode:
+
+```lisp
+(use-package kage-mode
+  :ensure nil         ;; installed locally in site-lisp
+  :defer nil
+  :mode "\\.kg\\'"    ;; you must use a different suffix for kage files!
+  :commands kage-gofmt-before-save
+
+  :init
+  (defun tvd-kage-install-hooks()
+    ;; remove the lsp-mode stuff, since unsupported
+    (remove-hook 'before-save-hook #'lsp-format-buffer t)
+    (remove-hook 'before-save-hook #'lsp-organize-imports t)
+    
+    ;; use gofmt -s
+    (add-hook 'before-save-hook #'kage-gofmt-before-save t t))
+
+  :config
+  (add-hook 'kage-mode-hook #'tvd-kage-install-hooks)
+  
+  ;; ignore warnings about no kage lsp backend
+  (setq lsp-warn-no-matched-clients nil))
+```
