Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by mapping the existing $psEditor API and editor-specific settings integration, then clarify which settings and editor contracts are in scope. Done should include an agreed API and behavior for the requested zoom, font, and theme examples.

Description

Area-psEditor Issue-Enhancement

This may need to be editor-specific since the settings format could be different for each. It could allow an PS-based extension author to do things like set window zoom level, font, theme, etc.
