Navigate Files in Folder: more keyboard and file actions

The Navigate Files in Folder window (CmdNavigateFilesInFolder, Ctrl + Shift + Up) got many improvements. Del moves the selected file to the Recycle Bin (closing its tab first if it is open), F5 refreshes the listing, and Alt + Up goes to the parent directory. Ctrl + Enter / Ctrl + double-click switches to the tab already showing that file, or opens it in a new tab. The listing now stays up to date as files change, and the window also works from the home page.

Find shows search progress

While a search is still running, the Find status shows the page currently being scanned next to the running match count (e.g. 520 61), so a long search over a big document visibly makes progress. Results in the floating Find window are now always listed in page order, even when the search started in the middle of the document.

Amber warning notifications

Warning notifications (“File not found”, “Errors in document”, update messages) now use an amber background in every theme. Before, the color came from the theme accent and could look purple or bright blue, or look the same as a normal notification.

Markdown internal links jump to headings

In Markdown documents, heading anchors now follow GitHub’s rules, so in-document links like #intr_state jump to the right heading (discussion #5883).

Pasted clipboard images saved to data directory

Pressing Ctrl + V with an image in the clipboard saves it as clipboard.png in the SumatraPDF data directory (instead of Downloads) and opens it in a tab.
