I use the New context menu exclusively to make new txt files. Everything else is open the app first territory.
Explorer is weird in a few ways.
- doesn't show NTFS alternate data streams.
- hides "copy as path" behind a shift-rightClick context menu. This is handy for running scripts, but why the "shift" modifier? Same for "Open commandline/powershell" when right clicking whitespace of directory.
- copy and paste a file listing. IE a simple "dir". Or checksums to verify downloaded files. Nope, that requires 3rd party extensions.
Thankfully newer explorer has much better UX for copying/overwriting/deleting files these days.
