I do this a lot  and I don t have an insert key on my laptop  so I made my own keybinding for it  You can do this by opening Settings   IDE Settings   Keymap and navigating to Main menu   File   New     I would recommend typing  new  into the search box - that will narrow it down considerably    Then you can add a new keyboard shortcut for it by double clicking on that item and selecting Add Keyboard Shortcut

On Mac you can navigate to the location in Project view where you want to create your class and then use  N followed by Enter

If you are already in the Project View  press Alt Insert  New    Class  Project View can be activated via Alt 1   To create a new class in the same directory as the current one use Ctrl Alt Insert  New       You can also do it from the Navigation Bar  press Alt Home  then choose package with arrow keys  then press Alt Insert   Another useful shortcut is View   Select In  Alt F1   Project  1   then Alt Insert to create a class near the existing one or use arrow keys to navigate through the packages   And yet another way is to just type the class name in the existing code where you want to use it  IDEA will highlight it in red as it doesn t exist yet  then press Alt Enter for the Intention Actions pop-up  choose Create Class

With Esc and Command   1 you can navigate between project view and editor area - back and forward  in this way you can select the folder location you need  With Control  Option   N you can trigger New file menu and select whatever you need  class  interface  file  etc  This works in editor as well in project view and it relates to the current selected location     please consider that this is working with standard key mapping
