Fresh brings the intuitive UX of VS Code and Sublime Text to the terminal. Standard keybindings, full mouse support, menus, and a command palette — everything works the way you'd expect, right out of the box. No modes, no memorizing shortcuts.
Built for real-world performance: Fresh handles multi-gigabyte files with negligible memory overhead and delivers consistently low-latency input, regardless of file size.
### Command Palette & Fuzzy Finder
One shortcut to find files, run commands, switch buffers, and jump to any line.
### Multitask with the Orchestrator
Start each task in its own worktree, hop between them with an arrow key, and leave the rest running.
### Multi-Cursor Editing
Select and edit multiple occurrences simultaneously — the same workflow you know from graphical editors.
### Themes & Customization
Browse and apply color themes instantly. Full settings UI and interactive keybinding editor included.
