Creating class inside package A of A.B in IntelliJ

I have a maven project in IntelliJ IDE. I have created a package with name event.handlers. After which I created multiple classes inside this package. There are no classes inside event everything is inside event.handlers. Now I want to create a java class inside package event.

Is there any way from the IDE I can do that? Currently, I am manually creating the java file inside the event folder in my code repository.

It might be easier to just create the class inside package AB and Refactor > Move to place it inside of A.

It seems that all other answers here are workarounds anyway, so if it's just a one-off, this might be the easiest option.

However, in my case, after doing this I had to "Invalidate Caches and Restart" before IDEA updated the UI properly.

In the left Project structure pane, there is Settings button, in that please Uncheck, Compact Empty Middle Packages.

The settings will be like

this.

Now you will have a tree structure, where you can right-click or (ctrl + enter/ alt + insert) on the package and create the file.

For example,

Try creating a Java Class at src folder named event.NewClass. This will create a NewClass.java inside src/event.

You can create folder with the dot symbol . at creating a Java Class or a Package, or Kotlin File/Class when Type is not File. For example create a Package with name com.company.example at src folder will automatically generate the folders recursively, src/com/company/example, create a Java Class with name com.company.example.AClass will automatically generate a file AClass.java inside the automatically generated folder tree src/com/company/example.
