Advanced New File - Visual Studio Code Extension

Making the creation of a new file even easier. Specify the name of the file on creation and if you define a path that doesn't exist yet the folders will be created. Before using the extension please make sure to read the Disclaimer.

Inspired by Scott Kuroda's AdvancedNewFile for Sublime.

How to use

Press the Shortcut Cmd+Alt+N or run the Files: Advanced New File command.
Enter a relative file path or stick with the default. If you have a file open it will guess the extension based on the current extension.
If you don't have a project open in your workspace, the extension will ask you which base path you want to have.
An empty file will be created and the cursor will be placed into the new file.
Happy Coding! :)
