Can't create new file unless folder/file is selected

[OscarGodson]

A feature I really want. Not sure how to implement it yet.

Yes indeed, this would be great! It means that at the moment, I have to move up a folder just to create a new file in my current folder.

I don't think you can implement it into the context menu with Automator because of the way that macOS works. However, I think it's possible with a shortcut in the Finder.
