>
> A user noted on 'oh-my-zsh's Github that the shorthand `> filename` will create a file by the given filename (or empty said file if it already exists) as it does in most shells, but it does not exit. This leads to the user needing to terminate said command with c-C or c-D. This is atypical compared to other shells that will execute this command and go to the next line.

Unable to reproduce. Running `$ > file` creates `file` and fails with “zsh: command not found: $”. Zsh version 5.2.
