I suppose I could use mkdir / touch but I'm not sure if these would go in the current directory as viewed in ranger.

          To create a directory in ranger, just type



          :mkdir exampledir


          or,



          :touch examplefile

            You can use :touch somefile, but I prefer it mapped to a key.



            :map c console touch  (note the extra space at the end)



            Place this at the bottom of your ~/.config/ranger/rc.conf minus the leading :

              The accepted answer is correct, but someone might prefer to get these commands typed just by pressing one key. As @jaustin describes in his answer, one need to have keys mapped in ~/.config/ranger/rc.conf config file.



              If you copied default configuration files by



              ranger --copy-config=all


              then you already have the shortest access to mkdir / touch:




              • F7 - mkdir (config: map <F7> console mkdir%space)


              • Insert - touch (config: map <INSERT> console touch%space)

              Mine current version of Ranger is 1.9.2.



              BTW: extra space at the end of map c console touch␣ doesn't work. Only map c console touch%space will work.
