Navigation style: open in place

[stefanceriu]

Want to start off by saying that I use Zed next to Xcode for rust/iOS development and I absolutely love it, you are doing an amazing job! 👏

Now, similar to Xcode, Zed can navigate to new files by opening them in a new, nonpersistent, tab (preview_tabs enabled). Both support double clicking the tab to make it persistent.

Xcode on the other hand also supports a different navigation style called open in place which always always uses the current tab to navigate. The user can chose to have multiple tabs open but the IDE never automatically switches between them.

Same would apply to side by side navigation and multiple panels opened at the same time, or opening project files, or symbols, or anything really.

I find this to be a significantly simpler mental model for navigating the codebase and would love to see it in Zed.
