Description

When creating a new folder or file in the project navigator, the default name (e.g., "untitled") is not selected for editing as expected. Users must manually rename it after creation.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a new folder or file in the project navigator.
  2. Observe that the default name is not automatically selected for editing.

Expected Behavior

  • The name field should automatically be selected for editing immediately after creation.

Actual Behavior

  • The name is not selected, requiring an extra step to rename.

Version Information

macOS: 15.4 Beta (24E5238a)
CodeEdit: 0.3.4-alpha (45)

Additional Context

This disrupts the flow of creating new items and is inconsistent with standard UX expectations on macOS.
