Reproduction steps

  1. Open context menu in the project browser.

Current vs. Expected behavior

Current behavior

There is no visible way to add file to a project. There is only "Add Folders to Project" menu option.

Expected behavior

As per https://zed.dev/features there should be a way to add individual file:

Every Zed window corresponds to a project, and you can add multiple folders or even individual files to a project.
