Description
🌟 Feature Request
1. Visual Enhancements for File Explorer (Icons & Colors)
Current Pain Point:
In complex project structures, the file explorer displays a plain list. It is difficult to quickly identify file types.
Suggestion:
Implement file-type specific icons and color coding in the Workspace sidebar (e.g., Python snake, JS logo).
Value: Improves file recognition speed and IDE-like feel.
2. Inline File Editing & Saving
Suggestion:
Add an inline editor (Monaco Editor) to the file view. Allow users to modify code and Save (Ctrl+S) directly in the workspace.
Value: Enables rapid iteration on configs/code without external tools.
