The OG version is no longer FOSS and was sold to some shady company. So far there doesn’t seem to be any changes to the old one yet but I’m sure they’ll creep in sooner or later.
Seems like there’s been some small improvements to the new version too when it comes to the look and feel.
Edit: just refreshed the comments and all of a sudden 3 other people already explained it, all 30 mins ago? Huh.
You could define a function that takes a parameter, which touches a file with the parameters value, chmods it and then opens it with nano?
create_exec() { touch "$1" chmod +x "$1" nano "$1" }
Then you could type
create_exec file.sh
and it would do the rest for you.
