Netbeans - Simplify new file creation

I really like the editor Netbeans for it's whole project… thingy. The problem is, when i want to create a new file, it's a really tedious job. You know what i mean, like:

it's especially annoying when i'm trying to follow a tutorial (as i am in this picture)
when really all i want is to just make a new file, and name it, and BOOM! it's there. Is there anyway in Netbeans that allows you to create a file without having to select what type of file it is, and yadda yadda. or if not, any other good editors similar to netbeans except in this regard?

The folder managment thiny is available for notepad++ as well. I love Netbeans though, and I never really thought the file creation was in any way tedious. It's pretty straight forward and once you know the hotkeys you can do it almost as fast as just ctrl + n.

Eclipse has Right click -> new -> [menu of common types] -> enter the name. No idea about NetBeans

i like it too. mainly for the fact that folder management as well as plain editing for ease of working on a project. but i like to just need a file, so i hit command+n (or right click->"New File") and just have it there and instantly start coding. Especially for when following a tutorial.

the other problem (though you wouldn't know that from this thread probably) is that i sometimes follow tutorials on a remote 000webhost server cuz my mac (still) can't send emails(
) [and last night i was having some odd problems where XAMPP wouldn't start apache]. not too much of a problem though cuz i know some FTP clients (ie cybderduck, which i use sometimes) allows you to use your editor on a remote server, but i'm not sure how many editors have that ability built in (as i've only used 3 editors); i know that netbeans definitely does.

The problem with apache not starting is usually because you have either skype, pando media booster or teamviewer running in the background. They all occupy port 80, and apache won't start if the port is already occupied.
