Beyond text editing — the tools that make Fresh a complete development environment in your terminal.

Command Palette

Ctrl+P opens the unified command palette. Type to fuzzy-find files, prefix with > for commands, # for open buffers, : for go-to-line. Tab completion and hints guide you through.

Split View

Split the editor horizontally or vertically. Each pane has its own tab bar, cursor, and scroll position. Navigate between panes with Ctrl+K.

File Explorer

Ctrl+E toggles a sidebar file tree. Navigate with arrow keys, expand directories with Enter, and type to fuzzy-filter. Git status indicators show modified and untracked files.
