This looks great, just needs the lint fix and we can merge! |

I agree, I can't seem to track down why those tests are failing but they appear to be fixed on main. We can merge without those passing tests. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Found one bug. If there's a file system event while the new file item is focused, it silently fails to create the file.

Description
When we create a new file or folder, CodeEdit will now automatically focus the renaming field so the user can directly set the file name in one step.
Files and folders are no longer created immediately, instead a "phantom" file will be represented in the project navigator, and will only actually create the file when the user sets a valid file name.
Lastly, we do not automatically set the file extension for the user.
