Closes #4864 Adds a `file_finder::OpenWithoutDismiss` action that opens the selected file without closing the finder, so multiple files can be opened in one session. Pressing right arrow when the cursor is at the end of the search query triggers it — matching VS Code and Sublime Text behaviour. A "Keep Open" button in the footer provides mouse access and serves as a discoverability hint. Each opened file becomes the active tab without stealing keyboard focus from the finder, preserving the search state between opens. Refactors the existing `confirm` implementation into a shared `open_selected_file` helper parameterised by `dismiss_after_open` to eliminate duplicated file-opening logic. ## What's different from PR #38914 - Uses `right` arrow at `end_of_input` context instead of `cmd-shift-enter` (better ergonomics, matches VS Code/Sublime — the `end_of_input` context that was added after that PR makes this possible) - Each opened file is activated as the current tab (`activate: true`, `focus_item: false`), giving visual feedback on every open without stealing focus from the modal - Cleaner refactor: single `open_selected_file` helper instead of duplicated logic Release Notes: - Added ability to open files from the file finder without dismissing it, using right arrow at end of input or the "Keep Open" footer button --------- Co-authored-by: Christopher Biscardi <chris@christopherbiscardi.com>
