Documentation

Whether dired-create-empty-file acts on the current directory.

If non-nil, dired-create-empty-file creates a new empty file and adds an entry for it (or its topmost new parent directory if created) under the current subdirectory in the Dired buffer by default (otherwise, it adds the new file (and new subdirectories if provided) to whichever directory the user enters at the prompt). If nil, dired-create-empty-file acts on the default directory by default.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 31.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 31.1.
