##FAQ ###What does Rumil mean? Rumil is a character in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. He was a Noldorin sage who invented the first writing system.
###Yet another editor? Yes. This project is largely just me trying to improve my C.
###Is Rumil modal? No. While I am a user of a modal editor myself, I am trying to keep Rumil as accesible as possible, and modal editors do introduce a steep learning curve.

##Keystrokes
^someletter = Control + someletter
F# = Function key (1-12)
| Rumil | JOE | GNU Moe | Action | Why this keystroke? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ^Q | ^_ | F7 | Undo | Because three keys is too much for an operation as common as undo/redo, and function keys are too far away |
| ^W | ^^ | F8 | Redo | '' |
| F1 | ^KH | F1 | Help | Because F1 is the key most people will look for when seeking help |
| ^X | ^X | Next word | One of the moves I use most, so easily reachable with one hand | |
| ^Z | ^Z | Previous word | '' | |
| ^O | ^KU | ^[U | Beg. of file | Rarely used actions; put next to each other. |
| ^P | ^KV | ^[V | End of file | '' |
