Hello Reed, If you use Alt followed by H followed by W you are placed in the New items list. Use up arrow twice to find the New Text File option. This can be done whether or not an item is selected in the current list of files. You can press the application key followed by W to get this New items list but only if no item is selected in the current list of files and folders. You would need to use CTRL with spacebar to remove selection first if you do it that way.
Take care.

From this list, I could choose Folder, text file, excel workbook, etc. Is there such a method of creating new items in Windows 10 File Explorer? I know about the Control+Shift+N to create a new folder. I'm particularly interested in how to create a new text file. I don't see this topic discussed in any guide to File Explorer that I've found.
