Problem to solve

Loading the new Web IDE is fast, but there are times when you want to jump right into working on a file. Right now you have to wait for the welcome screen to load (which is a separate bug that we're working on) and the file list to be populated.

Proposal

Prioritize loading the file or files opened from the repository before displaying the welcome screen or file tree.

Questions

Is this even possible? Given the file system needs to be loaded, do we even have the contents of the opened file before we populate the file tree? Can the order of these be reversed or is there a dependency on loading the FS first?
