Equivalent Keyboard Shortcut to Create a New File in Project Panel in Zed like VS Code

[kresnasatya]

Hi everyone, I have been try using Zed Editor more than weeks. So far so good. But, I wish Zed can catch up VS Code soon.

I have uncomfortable experience when create a new file (or create a file in side a folder) in Zed.

In VS Code, we can setup keybinding to create a new file inside a project in explorer panel with a keyboard shortcut. I set up in VS Code by cmd + shift + p then Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON) then add a configuration below.

// Place your key bindings in this file to override the defaults
[
    {
        "key": "cmd+n",
        "command": "explorer.newFile"
    }
]

I get this keybinding shortcut from VS Code official YouTube Channel. I think Zed should create a YouTube channel too.

I would like to try in Zed, I try with this config below. But, it doesn't work. :(

[
  {
    "context": "Editor",
    "bindings": {
      "cmd-n": "project_panel::NewFile"
    }
  }
]

Here's a video demo when create a new file with VS Code shortcut and Zed.

I'm sorry, but this is not the answer I'm looking for. I'm seeking the equivalent shortcut keybinding for create a new file like VS Code as I mention above but in Zed way.

@kresnasatya I think the following hack works for the moment until there's a way to dispatch multiple actions for a given keystroke:

[
  {
    "context": "Workspace",
    "bindings": {
      "cmd-alt-n": ["workspace::SendKeystrokes", "cmd-shift-e cmd-up cmd-n"]
    }
  }
]
