@Syrux64 looks great so far. Yeah go ahead and implement the keyboard shortcut for this. When the navigator is in focus and cmd V is pressed, it should create the file inside the selected folder. If a file is selected, the newly created file should be a sibling to the selected file both having the same parent folder.

@austincondiff Sure! Thanks for the heads up.

This looks good so far! If you want to merge this before finishing the key command that would be fine.

My one suggestion is you can remove your new file method and just add a new contents parameter to the addFile method, with a default value of nil. That should make it so we don't have multiple addFile-type methods which could get messy.

    func addFile(
        fileName: String,
        toFile file: CEWorkspaceFile,
        useExtension: String? = nil,
        contents: Data? = nil // Shouldn't break any existing calls, reduces duplicate code.
    ) throws -> CEWorkspaceFile {
