Description

Thanks for the awesome code!

Research direction

Start by reading the existing TUI parts of the microsoft/edit repository and compare them with the reported reusable file commander at https://github.com/kromych/ruf4. Determine the framework boundary and extraction scope before changing anything; done means the TUI can be reused easily without depending on editor-specific code.
