Easiest way to create a new text file in a Finder window on OSX
On Windows in Explorer I can right click and e.g. create a text file.
On the mac when I right-click, I can create "new folder" but I can't create a text file. So I have to go find my text editor, do file new and create one, then navigate to where I want to save it: 5-10 steps instead of 1.
How can I just create a text file in a directory in Finder?
like on windows:

Not affiliated with the site, but this is a free solution.
What works for me is Launch bar. I hit command space, type txt, then hit enter and TextMate (or OS X's built in TextEditor) opens. I paste in, or type what I need to, and shift command S. I'm asked where I want to save my file. I don't see much difference between what I do, and navigating to where I want to put something, building an empty file there, and then open it with the software. Especially considering I can do my method without taking my hands off the keyboard to use the mouse at all. Also I can do this with any program, not just a text editor (Aperture, StarCraft2, Mail, PowerPoint, etc)
