WFM (on Linux). Does the problem persist (i.e., if you repeat these
steps now that you got it to work, is syntax highlighting still broken
once you use a template)?

I agree that something like Esc should be supported (in addition to
Ctrl+Shift+F!). However, at least here on Linux, I still see the menu
bar, even in full screen mode. This may be disturbing (e.g. if you want
to use full screen mode for a presentation), but it enables the user to
switch back to windowed mode in the same way he got to full screen in
the first place (many people don't remember or even look at short cuts,
especially when just trying something out once).

Is there a way to determine if an app was started from the terminal or
from the GUI? In that case I'd suggest to use the current directory in
the first case and the home directory in the second. Otherwise I'd go
with the suggestion of using the home directory as default.

Icons are available at all sizes (just tell me what you need). The
problem is showing them ;). My guess is that the icon shown in the task
switcher is the application's icon, though I have no idea how or where
this is defined for Mac.
