How does macOS create TXT files? I think these two ways are the quickest.

If you switch from Windows to Mac, there is a very unaccustomed is not able to right-click new TXT text files. The Mac doesn’t offer this feature, and you can’t even find a portal to create text files.

This video is going to share with you two ways to create TXT text, the second of which is very fast and very useful.

Text editing

The first is to use a regular text editing application

Modify the format in the preferences. The default is multi-message text, which is actually a bit like rich text. In this format, you can insert images, change font colors, and insert tables.

But change to plain text, become TXT text file. Can only put pure text, and Windows TXT files. It also supports setting the encoding format of the text, such as UTF-8.

This method is a little inconvenient, and I recommend the next method.

Automatic operation – Create application

on run {input, parameters}

    tell application "Finder"
    set selection to make new file at (get insertion location)
    end tell

    return input
end run
Copy the code

Take advantage of the auto action App on the Mac and code it to create a new text function application. In the future, if you want to create new text, just double click the App. It can be created either on the desktop or in access by clicking on it.

If you think this is not fast enough, you can also put the App in the toolbar of access, so as to omit the step of entering the name, just click on the line.
