Research direction
Start by checking dashboard-nvim's existing documentation and configuration for Enter behavior, file arguments, and new-file creation. Verify whether each requested action already exists; if not, define separate, testable changes for opening a new buffer, bypassing the dashboard for a file argument, and creating a file.

Description
Hello,
I've been using dashboard-nvim and have some suggestions that might enhance the user experience:
-
Enter to New Buffer: It would be useful if pressing Enter on the dashboard would directly open a new buffer.
-
Bypass Dashboard with File Argument: When opening nvim with a specific file from the command line, the dashboard could be skipped to allow immediate editing of the file.
-
Creating New Files from Dashboard: An option to create new files directly from the dashboard would be helpful.
Is there a way to already do this?
