Create new file

Use cases

When the user want to right click on a folder and create a file. Just like in Windows File Explorer.

Desired behavior

When the user clicks right click on a folder, add to the menu that pops up a new item: "New file".

Benefits of the solution

Easily create files without using the shell to do so. Benefits both professionals and regular users who don't want to think about 'which text editor to open in order to create my file?'

Possible drawbacks

I don't see any drawbacks.Annotation_2019-10-29_202730
