How can I create an empty file from emacs, ideally from within a dired buffer?
For example, I\'ve just opened a Python module in dired mode, created a new directory,
I've modified answer from MrBones and created custom function with keybinding:
; create empty __init__.py at the place
(defun create-empty-init-py()
(interactive)
(shell-command "touch __init__.py")
)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c p i") 'create-empty-init-py)
This is very useful to not spend time on recurring action of creating init.py everywhere in new Python project folder.
