Start screen
When you start imp without a file, it shows a start screen. From there you can open a recent file, jump into a project, or start typing.
Opening something
The screen lists your recent files, then your projects, then a few
commands. Press the key shown beside an entry to open it, or move to it
and press <ret>.
