codeedit: Create a file if it does not exist

[onl1ner]

Currently codeedit command just opens existing files and fails if you try to use it to create one. It would be more convenient if command will create and open a file if it does not exist and just open if it exist (e.g. code on VSCode works this way)

What behaviour are we aiming for here? Should the command codeedit create project and codeedit create index.js be distinct, or should codeedit index.js automatically create the file if it doesn't exist in the current directory? I can see how codeedit create might be clearer for beginners, but personally, I'm used to using commands like nvim index.js to create files.

I expect codeedit command to automatically create and open a file if it doesn't exist, with the name passed as an argument of the command. So you are not constrained to have a file to open it

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll catch up with the other maintainers later. I've got the functionality in place as you described them, but I want to touch base with them first.

Also, should it be possible to do something like codeedit path/to/file.js and that it then also create the folders if they don't exist?

VSCode code command works this way, I think it would be nice to cover this case.
