Flex is a terminal text editor built for speed, flexibility, and frictionless movement — a powerful alternative to Neovim. It is built around two core modes: JMP and EDT. Every current feature, and every feature that will ever be added, lives under one of these two modes. This isn’t arbitrary — it reflects a deliberate ideology: editing and navigating are fundamentally different mental operations, and the editor should reflect that.
JMP — Jump mode. Navigate, jump, and move through your code without touching your file.
EDT — Edit mode. Insert, delete, and modify text.
Future modes will extend this system, not replace it. The JMP/EDT split is the foundation flex is built on, keeping in mind a lightweight feel along with uniform optimization.
