Is it possible to create files directly in Folders? I have just bought a MacBook and recently switched from Windows OS. Let's take the example of Microsoft Word documents. In Windows OS, I have a habit of making my MS Word files in the destination directory itself, so all I have to do is save my work later. 

However with my limited knowledge of MacOS, I realise there seems to be no way to achieve this, I always make a new MS Word file and only at the saving stage then I require to go through the whole motion of entering my nested folders. If I have to work on multiple files that would be stored in the same destination folder, this process will become quite irritating if the destination is quite deep into other folders. 

Is there a way to overcome this dilemma in MacOS in general for any application?
AFAIK, you can't do it directly through the macOS GUI like in Windows, w/o any customizations. 

You can use the Terminal* app (Cmd+Space to open Spotlight, then type terminal), by typing cd, then drag and drop the folder to it to get the whole file path; finally type touch my newfile.docx.

e.g.

cd /path/to/file
touch newfile.docx

* coming from the Windows world, terminal it's like the cmd.exe (Command Prompt)
