Description

v1.2.2

  • In the left "Project" tab, right-click and select "New File".
  • input a name.
  • A new tab is created for the file but does not have cursor focus.

Would expect new tab to have focus so you can immediately start typing instead of having to click into the new tab.

Research direction
Investigate the file creation flow in the IDE's editor components, focusing on how new tabs are opened and whether they receive focus. Look for event handlers related to 'New File' and ensure the new tab's component has autoFocus or a programmatic focus call after creation. Check for any existing focus management patterns in the codebase.
