For $2, you can finally give your Mac an incredibly useful feature Windows has always had

I did not know Mac was missing this that we take for granted. Now Macs can too!

Excerpt:

"How could Apple have missed this? Fortunately, a developer has provided a Finder extension to right this wrong.

I'd like to think that, after all this time, we've moved past the petty disputes about whether Macs are better than PCs and vice versa.

And yet, there's one incredibly useful feature that Windows has had forever, that's gone inexplicably missing from MacOS. If you use a Mac, but have even the slightest Windows muscle memory, you'll try to use this feature, recall that Apple, in its infinite wisdom, decided to skip it, and then slam your mouse down in frustration. 

But not anymore, courtesy of Mac developer Coral Wu. And all it costs is two bucks.

OK, so what is this feature? Simple: Right-click to create a new file at your current location in the file tree.

Imagine you're on Windows, and you've navigated deep down into a file tree. You want to create a new Word document in that folder. All you do is right-click and choose New from the context menu. A submenu opens with a whole bunch of file types."

at last, a right click on a Mac can be useful.
I think I'll try the free version for a bit and see if it's something I need.
Thanks for sharing!
