bug#24150: 26.0.50; New command: dired-create-empty-file

[Phil Sainty]

I've not followed this bug, but just wanted to comment that I've found
https://stackoverflow.com/a/18885461 (which I simply adapted from
`dired-create-directory') to be a remarkably convenient command over
the years.

I see that there are suggestions against binding it to a key, but I
would suggest using "_" as a binding in dired (which on a US keyboard
layout is directly beside "+" (with both being shift-modifier chords),
which is a binding that I immediately found easy to remember and use.
