Goood stuff!
One of my long-standing "would make if I had the time and perseverance" themes has been a terminal text editor that's hugely VSCode-like + compatible, so always glad to hear anyone going anywhere near that, and hence I perked up from these:
> Prioritizes standard keybindings and a minimal learning curve.
> Extensibility: Uses TypeScript (via Deno) for plugins, making it accessible to a large developer base.
Because where you are now with Fresh, you're probably really not far from supporting say `settings.json`, `launch.json`, `tasks.json`, `keybindings.json`, `.tmTheme`s and theme `.json`s, and indeed bringing up a VSCode-API-implementing "extension host" that can load up and run/host most `.vsix`es. Now, being terminal-based you'd skip over certain feature subsets such as webviews, custom (non-text) editors and the like... and might postpone Notebooks and such fancies initially, but:
Consider! 1000s of high-value, capable, tech-specific dev extensions out there, all readily supported by your just-spawned new editor. Doesn't that sound pretty exciting?
After all, there's a huge subset of VSCode fans who'd always switch in a heartbeat to a just-simply-non-Electron version (whether native or terminal) of the very same feature-scape & extensions & UI dev experience if only it was made and to max compatibility (and MS won't ever do so).
All that's missing (from screenshot glance) is the other sidebars & panels in addition to File Explorer =)
Will be putting your Fresh on my Github Watch list, but then again, I never really read the GH feed anyway.. but maybe I'll remember to check back in every quarter or so =)
