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.
