Right now the Strider file explorer (start with zellij --layout strider) can explore files. Would be great if it could also copy, delete and create them.

Research direction
Review the Strider plugin source code in Zellij's repository to understand the current file exploration implementation. Look at the process of adding new operations like copy, delete, and create. Check any existing discussions or comments for design preferences. Consider how to integrate these operations into the existing UI and keybindings.
