SUMMARY There currently is a shortcut for creating folders (bug 155704), this can be very useful, and I think a shortcut for creating other files would be too. There are several default file creation actions in the Create New menu, and I think each one should get a shortcut: - Text file - Empty file - HTML file - Link to Location - Link to file or directory - Link to application These do not need to be enabled / defined by default, the user could choose to assign a key combination themselves.
