Summary
The project explorer's right-click menu on directories offers a 'New file' option but lacks a corresponding 'New directory' option, limiting quick directory creation workflows.
Problem
Users cannot create new directories directly through the UI context menu in the project explorer sidebar. They must use alternative methods, reducing the polish and usability of the file browser.
Expected behavior
When right-clicking a directory in the project explorer pane, a context menu should appear with both 'New file' and 'New directory' options, allowing users to quickly create new folders.
Actual behavior
Right-clicking a directory in the project explorer pane shows only a 'New file' option; there is no 'New directory' option available.
Reproduction hints
- Open the project explorer sidebar
- Right-click on any directory in the file tree
- Observe that only 'New file' is available, not 'New directory'
Additional context
User feedback indicates this feature is a quality-of-life improvement that would help Warp compete with other IDEs on polish and UX. Users familiar with other editors (like Terax) expect this functionality to be available alongside file creation options.

@orenmizr: @warpdotdev be honest - why put add new file to your amazing file browser menu and no add folder ? (coming from terax) on windows. warp open source can win the battle of the ide... falls on polish and upsells
@petradonka: @orenmizr @warpdotdev Do you mean this dropdown when right-clicking a folder in the project explorer sidebar? 👀 https://t.co/SNEHBsOjWh
