It would be nice if I could navigate to a directory with nautilus
and then type a command in a launcher box which would run from
the current directory, for example `gvim newfile.txt` would chdir
to the directory and then run the command, then when I save the
new file it appears in that directory.  Maybe an optional launcher
textbox at the bottom below the directory items / free space info?
Thanks.  --mark--

It is not exactly what you are looking for, but nautilus-actions and
nautilus-open-terminal provide similar functionality.

As for the feature to create a new empty file, it’s already here in the
File menu, but I guess this was just an example.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I just thought a launcher box
would be easier to type 'gvim' in a box right there in the
directory.  I like using the terminal but it seems like an
extra step.
