Description

Right now we use dialogs to add and edit tree nodes. It would be better to allow inline editing.

Possible clients are the navigator and different debug views.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current tree widget implementation in Theia, focusing on how nodes are added and edited via dialogs. Identify the relevant classes and methods, then design an inline editing approach using existing patterns (e.g., input fields, key bindings). Consider the navigator and debug views as clients.
