Bug 393143

## Overview

Some file managers like Nautilus offer the ability to assign keyboard shortcuts to creating new files (in analogy to creating a new folder). I would propose that Dolphin offer a similar feature-set, as I think it would greatly enhance Dolphin's keyboard usability.

I find myself creating new text files quite often, and navigating through the context menu to eventually get to the relevant entry always feels like a chore. Contrast that to Nautilus where I had bound the same action of creating an empty text file to Ctrl+Shift+E, creating a very streamlined workflow for - what I feel is - a very commonly used action.

## Implementation ideas

As Dolphin does come with quite a few templates by default, it might make sense to initially limit the scope of this to creating text files, as that is probably the most commonly used file creation choice. Ideally users would be able to set up a custom key binding for each template through Dolphin's existing shortcut assignment menu. But if that is too complex to implement, I think that most users would also be happy with a hardcoded default.
