Touch a file in Linux

For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
I'm way to used to doing
nano file.txt
that I always forget about touch.Although most times, if I create a file, it's to put something in it
If you need multiple files for testing a script or such:
touch file{1..5}.txt
If you're having a party or whatever: touch *
I do the opposite, I forget I can just create a file with nano. I run touch then open it with nano after to edit.
That's weird. Stop it.
I usually do
open filename
because I prefer GUI text editors.
