Thanks for the hint with the Templates directory!

I tend to disagree with the premise that the typical use case is creating a
"simple text file". But I wouldn't have any data to disprove it. From all the
files which are created with this action I don't know how many will have a .txt
suffix as opposed to a .py, .xml, .ini or what ever else suffix... It just
seams improbable to me that in most cases the extension will be .txt. And than
again how often will a user on purpose create a file with no extension and
expect it to be a "text file", I don't know. Still you might be right!

That all said, would you oppose a MR which adds a "File" .desktop file and
template to KIO which always creates an empty file regardless of the suffix?
The "Text File" entry would stay and there just would be an extra entry which
would just be called "File" since it would not create a new "text file" but a
file in the most generic sense of the word, just an empty file with a extension
chosen by the user. Could this be a compromise which would not change the
existing option but improve the current situation to seemingly at least some
users?
