This editor is missing way too many vim helper shortcuts to claim to be vi-like, maybe vi-inspired would be better wording. That being said, the editor looks really nice and jump mode feels extremely intuitive; I might give it a full shot once they get language server support

Vim isn't vi. You don't have to have many features to be "vi like". That said, the site itself doesn't say "vi like". Their wording seems close to what you're suggesting.

"Amp is inspired by Vim's modal approach to text editing, which is reflected in several of its default key bindings. That similarity aside, there are several key differences". https://amp.rs/docs/

Edit: The amp key bindings: https://github.com/jmacdonald/amp/blob/8b917ac720e7513e5c5bc...

The title of the post says a "vi-like terminal editor," and distinguishing vi vs vim is missing the point--I'm not talking about extensive plugin support or features that are specific to vim, the base keymappings are pretty different.
