fresh: Terminal based IDE & text editor: easy, powerful and fast

Fresh is a modern, full-featured terminal text editor written in Rust that brings a VS Code-like UX to the terminal with zero configuration required. It features familiar keybindings, mouse support, menus, a command palette, and IDE-level features without the learning curve of traditional terminal editors.

Background

Terminal-based code editors like Neovim, Helix, and Zed have seen growing interest as developers seek faster, lighter alternatives to GUI editors. Fresh enters this space by aiming to eliminate the learning curve associated with modal editors.
