Use a Shortcut To Create a New Text File In a Folder On a Mac

There is no command in the Finder that will let you create a new blank file at your current location. But you can create a Shortcut that will let you do this each time easily. The Shortcut needs to use both JavaScript and shell scripting to get the job done.

@sdelamo touch file.txt ?

@rasterweb yes. I have always done that. But it is a pain to have to open a terminal just to create a new file. I often want to create a README.md in the current finder folder and open it in my editor. I don’t want to go to the terminal.

@sdelamo Ah, I just always have a terminal open. I guess adding a contextual menu command could also work.
