If only there was a shortcut to create a new file in Windows. New folder works, why not new file? CTRL + N would be nice, as it would match the create new fold

CTRL + N would be nice, as it would match the create new folder shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + N, but that is already in use by 'create new window'. WIN + N comes to mind, with a selection box highlighting the most commonly used New file (in my case, a txt file).
