In the vim Explorer (:Explore), I can create a new directory by
pressing 'd' and typing the directoryname. Is there something similar
for creating a new, empty file? I've looked through the documentation
but couldn't find anything. I now press 'c' and type :new <filename>,
but that's error-prone (I usually forget to press 'c' and end up with
a file in the wrong directory). Thanks.
Have you considered having
let g:netrw_keepdir= 0
in your <.vimrc>? That way the current directory (:pwd) will track what
netrw uses for the current directory, and so creating a new empty file
(:enew, for example) will be made in the directory you're expecting.
