.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is Kyle's text editor and is probably ill-suited to everyone else. It
|
|
was inspired by Antirez' kilo text editor by way of someone's writeup
|
|
of the process of writing a text editor from scratch. It has keybindings
|
|
inspired by VDE (and the Wordstar family) and emacs; its spiritual parent
|
|
is

|
.Xr mg 1 .
|
|
.Sh KEYBINDINGS
|
|
K-command mode is entered using C-k. This is taken from Wordstar and just
|
|
so happens to be blessed with starting with a most excellent letter of
|
|
grandeur. Many commands work with and without control; for example,
|
|
saving a file can be done with either C-k s or C-k C-s. Other commands work
|
|
with ESC or CTRL.
|
|

.Sh FIND
|
|
The find operation is an incremental search. The up or left arrow keys will
|
|
go to the previous result, while the down or right arrow keys will go to
|
|
the next result. Unfortunately, the search starts from the top of the file
|
|
each time. This is a known bug.
