Code action to create file
Story
While working on Zig bindings, i was translating quite a bit of C to Zig, so i also tried and structure the code in a way, that i have quite a bit of files. A common pattern that arose is the following:
const Register = @import("register.zig").Register; // This file does not exist (yet)
// ....
const Something = extern struct {
reg: Register,
// ...
};
I would think that a code action to just create the file in the corresponding folder would be a great improvement for this specific workflow, but even in other workflows this would make a lot of sense in my opinion.
Being more concrete
Let's imagine the following folder-structure:
── src
├── linux
│ └── import.zig
└── windows
└── import.zig
and then imagine within the linux/import.zig folder the following Line:
const fs = @import("file_system.zig");
It would just make sense that a code action would create the file in the assumed folder, so that it would result in:
── src
├── linux
│ ├── file_system.zig
│ └── import.zig
└── windows
└── import.zig
Another point i'd say supporting this idea is, that probably most people are mostly working in the root of their project, so it would always be a bit cumbersome for us to create the file in the corresponding folder.
