New File doesn't accept a filename
Bug Description:
Selecting New File... from the File menu brings up a selection box prompting the user to "Select file type or enter file name." However, entering a filename doesn't do anything. The box disappears and no new editor is opened.

However, entering a filename doesn't do anything.
vs-code opens a new system explorer window, because normally this command is called from the Welcome page. Creating a new file directly in the workspace would need an additional validation to check if the file already exists.
What do you expect to happen in Theia?
Clicking the small "new file" icon in the Explorer heading prompts for a filename and then opens an editor for it. I expected that the menu item "New File" would do something similar: I'll type in a filename and an editor will open for it.
