The rationale is that you can have a directory with only other 
directories, if we always created inside the selected item, the user 
would have to take extra steps to select the parent (or deselect if 
parent is the file browser’s root).

This is also relevant when using copy/paste in the file browser (which 
use the same logic).

Correct, in that _New Tab_ (⌥⌘N) does not reference the file 
browser. But I can try to make it do it, though it would fall victim to 
the same logic about needing to have the selected folder expanded.

I may revise the thing about expanded folder, but it introduces some 
code complexity because then we ought to expand the folder when creating 
a new file, and folder content is loaded asynchronously…
