I'm way to used to doing nano file.txt that I always forget about touch.

Although most times, if I create a file, it's to put something in it

I usually do open filename because I prefer GUI text editors.

I do the opposite, I forget I can just create a file with nano. I run touch then open it with nano after to edit.

That's weird. Stop it.

If you need multiple files for testing a script or such: touch file{1..5}.txt

If you're having a party or whatever: touch *
