## Message

```
editor: Add in_preview boolean context for keybindings (#61777)

# Objective

- Add an `in_preview` context that is available when the current editor
is in preview mode (opened from project panel or go to definition).
- closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/61765

## Solution

- In `editor.rs`, added a check in `key_context()` that detects if the
editor is the active preview item in its pane, and if so, adds
`"in_preview"` to the key context.
- Uses existing `workspace.pane_for_item_id()` and
`pane.is_active_preview_item()` methods — no new APIs introduced.

## Testing

- Added two tests in `editor_tests.rs`:
- `test_in_preview_context_added_when_in_preview_mode` — verifies
`in_preview` is present when editor is set as preview item.
- `test_in_preview_context_not_added_when_not_in_preview_mode` —
verifies `in_preview` is absent for regular (non-preview) tabs.
- Tested on Linux.
