How to create a new file / directory using ranger?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I suppose I could use mkdir / touch but I'm not sure if these would go in the current directory as viewed in ranger.

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.
