.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.

.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.
