Feat Request: Add Search, move Add/Upload File, delete directory & "copy path" functionality to the repo's tree view UI #35898
Description
Based off of Github's tree view interface, it would be useful to add three key improvements to Gitea's file browsing experience:
- File search in the sidebar tree view
- Context menu for file/directory actions
- "Add file" dropdown button for creating/uploading files
1. File Search in Sidebar Tree View
Currently the repository file tree sidebar displays the hierarchical folder structure, but users must manually expand folders and scroll to find specific files. Like on Github and on the main repo view on gitea, lets add a search input field at the top of the file tree sidebar that:
- Filters the tree view and shows matching files and folders in a dropdown/filtered list.
- Highlights the matched portion of file/folder names.
- Allows keyboard navigation through results.
- Clicking a result navigates to that file.

3. Directory Context Menu
Add a three-dot menu button (⋯) in the top-right corner of the directory view that includes:
- Copy path
- Copy permalink
- Delete directory (if user has permissions)
- View options submenu:
- Toggle for switching between Centered content
