open recent -> open folder new new workspace default

[chenzhui]

What is the expected behavior?

When using File > Open Recent, I expect the selected folder to open in a new workspace/window, instead of replacing the current one.

Currently, i need to click ↑ ↓ and cltr+enter to open folder in new workspace ,but i think it's inconvenient.

Suggested Improvement

1.click open recent to open folder in new workspace like JetBrains Idea
2.or introduct a variable in setting.json to switch open recent between open in this workspace / open in new workspace

Environment

• Zed version: v0.202.7
• OS: Windows 11
• Architecture: x64

zed/assets/keymaps/default-windows.json

Lines 583 to 585 in 84f166f

	// Change the default action on `menu::Confirm` by setting the parameter
	// "ctrl-alt-o": ["projects::OpenRecent", { "create_new_window": true }],
	"ctrl-r": ["projects::OpenRecent", { "create_new_window": false }],

Zed has ways to redefine that, but there's been quite a push for this specific default (to replace the current window), so that won't change.

@SomeoneToIgnore fair enough and I personally like the default behaviour. My feedback would be that the current behaviour is inconsistent between new project folder & previously opened ones: If I'm opening a new project it creates a new window, if I'm opening a recent project it replaces the current window's content. If possible, this inconsistency should be addressed.

Yes, that's definitely something not fixed, thank you for pointing out.
From my side, I am aware that remote projects' modals are not at all compliant with the general approach (though should become so)

Updating keybindings works when using the shortcut, but selecting "Open Recent..." from the menu still opens in the same window. Is there a way to change that behaviour back to opening in a new window isntead?
