Description

  1. add a Tab View mode, not only the current New Window mode.

  2. Common Computer Code (like json, sh script, html, etc) syntax highlighted color. and enhanced Text Editor (like Mixplorer file manager)

  3. UI modification: current view vision (file list view) is too big at small-screen phone, please consider zoom out the view scale.

  4. Do Not save history visited directory at the current access dir bar.

  5. restore the last access at new start (like Windows file manager)

I'm very loving in the prefer normal access feature, so please make this app better, thanks.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing New Window mode, access directory bar, file-list view, and startup behavior. The request covers five separate areas: tabs, syntax highlighting and editor improvements, UI scaling, history handling, and restoring the last location. Done would require agreeing on scope and acceptance criteria for each area before implementation.
