Description

### 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.
