Feature request: Rework new-element creation flow #277

@akphi

Description

@akphi

We should rework our current fairly rudimentary interface for creating new elements.

Context and Motivation

Implementation Plan

  • Show the full path of the element in the name box (almost like IntelliJ when you create a new element)
  • Beautify the element creation modal - refer to new project modal in IntelliJ

Create new with option:driver

Create new with option:driver 2

  • Clicking the plus + button in project explorer will open up the modal, where the right-clicking will not
  • CONSIDER Adding multi/nested context-menu for new element, change + to open modal to create new element instead
  • CONSIDER We can explore the design from VS Code dropdown in Settings that shows more information about the currently focused item in the dropdown, or Gmail when hovering on each Inbox folder
