I want to create a new file in dired mode. Is there "create new file" command in dired mode ? For example, When I type "c" in dired mode, it creates "untitled.txt". It's very simple , but I can't find it.

The command + ( dired-create-directory ) reads a directory's name, and creates that directory. It signals an error if the directory already exists.
To create a new file, use Control-X-Control-F, just as if the file already existed. When emacs asks you for the file name, type in the name you want your new file to have, and emacs will create the file, and display an empty buffer for you to type in. Emacs will perform file name completion for you.
To enter into a directory, move to its listing in the Dired buffer, and simply hit the return key. To view a file, you can place the cursor on its entry and use the f or v key, or simply hit the return key.
Open dired for a directory containing files you want to work with. Then use C , R , or D when the cursor is on the line of a file to copy, rename/move or delete the file, respectively. This can also be done for multiple files by marking them.
Just press C-x C-f. This will prompt for a filename, using the current directory of the current buffer as the directory to put it in. For a dired buffer, its current directory is simply the directory you are looking at.

If you want c in Dired mode to do what C-x C-f does, the answer is trivial:
(define-key dired-mode-map "c" 'find-file) Or if you want it to have the name untitled.txt then:
(define-key dired-mode-map "c" (lambda () (interactive) (find-file "untitled.txt"))) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
