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
:map <F2> :cd %:p:h <Bar> new<Space>
will allow you to open a new file in the currently browsed directory,
or, if currently not browsing a directory, in the same directory as
the current file. (Replace <F2> by any other shortcut key you want to
use.) The cursor ends up on the command line, ready for you to enter
the filename. Hit <Enter> without a filename to open a [No Name]
buffer; hit <Esc> to cancel.
This is great, thanks. Is there also a way to make this work only in the
Explorer window/mode?
cheers,

Maybe, but I doubt if it's worth it. Maybe something like (untested)
:au BufNew * if isdirectory(<amatch>) | map <buffer> <F2> :cd %:p:h
<Bar> new<Space>| endif
which must be typed all on one line.
In that previous post, I had tried to create a mapping that would give
useful results even if used outside the netrw (Explorer) window.
Best regards,
Tony.
