+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B kge
+is the GUI-first build target of Kyle's Text Editor. It shares the same
+editor core and command model as
+.BR kte (1),
+but defaults to the graphical ImGui frontend when available. A terminal
+(ncurses) frontend is also available and can be requested explicitly.
+
+If one or more
+.I files
+are provided, they are opened on startup; otherwise, an empty buffer is
+created.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B -g, --gui
+Use the GUI frontend (default for
+.B kge
+when built).
+.TP
+.B -t, --term
+Use the terminal (ncurses) frontend instead of the GUI.
+.TP
+.B -h, --help
+Display a brief usage summary and exit.
+.TP
+.B -V, --version
+Print version information and exit.
+.SH KEYBINDINGS
+The GUI shares the same commands and keybindings as the terminal editor.

+tree for the canonical reference and notes:

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B kte
+is a small, fast, and understandable text editor with a terminal-first
+experience. It preserves ke's WordStar/VDE-style command model with
+Emacs-influenced ergonomics. The core uses ncurses in the terminal and can
+optionally run with a GUI frontend if built.

+.I files
+are provided, they are opened on startup; otherwise, an empty buffer is
+created.
+.SH OPTIONS

+Use the GUI frontend (if the binary was built with GUI support). If GUI was
+not built, the editor exits with an error.
