It uses jQuery extensively. The frontend developer in me wants to make a fork written in typescript using react and redux toolkit to manage keystrokes. Then I realize it is just a fun toy.

You have a fully working application where the only major issues can be easily fixed by adding `event.preventDefault()` to the keystroke handlers. Instead, you want to throw all that away and rewrite it with some new tool/framework, inevitably introducing new bugs and issues. Unless this is a joke, the question is why?
