Not sure if this should be in jEdit feature requests or jEdit plugins feature requests.

Please add "Create a new file from selection" menu item.

An additional useful feature would be to immeditely save this new file to a (configurable) directory under a configurable name dependent on the original file name. For example: editing file Ring.pm I want to create the file /home/porton/t/Ring-extract.pm where /home/porton/t/ is a configurable directory and the file name is determined by the option %s-extract somewhere in preferences.

This is clearly the job of a macro.
See attached macro for an example.
