Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by tracing the plugin's current new-file creation flow and how Sublime Text reports saving a buffer; determine where creation and parent-folder creation occur. Done means pressing Enter no longer creates them, while saving the new file still creates the expected path.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

Title pretty much explains it. Right now the moment you hit enter on the "Enter a path for a new file" bar
the file is created and this is the only available behavior (to my knowledge at least).
