Description

in the positron the recent project dropdown. It would be nice for us to either have a small X to remove a listed item or right-click > remove entry feature.

I know i can just clear it all and then open projects as needed, but it might be a quality-of-life improvement
e.g., i'm done with my -get_started folder / git working tree directory, and only want to remove that 1 item from the list

Start by locating the Positron recent project dropdown and its existing clear-all behavior. The change is complete when a user can remove one listed project without clearing the other entries, using either an X control or a remove-entry context-menu action.
