About:
Amp is a modal text editor designed for the terminal, inspired by modern editors like Vim and Atom. It prioritizes fast startup times and a simple, intuitive interface while providing powerful features like multiple cursors and fuzzy file search. The editor is built in Rust, ensuring performance and reliability for developers working in terminal environments.

Key Features:

Modal editing with intuitive keybindings
Multiple cursors for simultaneous edits
Fuzzy file and symbol search
Built-in version control integration (Git)

Use Cases:

Quickly editing configuration files or code directly on remote servers
Authoring Markdown or documentation in a distraction-free terminal environment

Alternatives:

vim – Vim is more ubiquitous and extensible, but Amp offers a more modern, pre-configured experience out of the box.
helix – Helix is another Rust-based modal editor that features a selection-first model, whereas Amp adheres more closely to traditional Vim workflows.
