  <title>Create a new file</title>

  <p>The easiest way to create a new file in <app>gedit</app>, is to click the icon that looks like a blank piece of paper with a "plus" sign next to it. If you prefer, you may also select <guiseq><gui>File</gui><gui>New</gui></guiseq>, or press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>N</key></keyseq>.</p>

  <p>Any one of these actions will create a new file in the <app>gedit</app> window. If you have other files open in <app>gedit</app>, the new file that you create will appear as a new tab to the right of those files.</p>
