How to quickly create a new directory without using dired-mode?

Question

Whenever I've to create a new directory in emacs, I enter dired mode, press "+" and enter the new directory name which creates the new directory. Is there a way I can avoid using dired-mode and create a new directory in the current path of the active buffer like creating a new file using C-x C-f command ?

Answer 1

You could use M-x make-directory DIRNAME RET. The default path is the path to the current buffer folder.

You could bind it to key (like C-x C-f) with (global-set-key (kbd "C-c d") 'make-directory).

You could create buffer in nonexist path with C-x C-f non/exist/path/file.name RET and then create nececcary folders with M-x make-directory RET RET.
