Ben Guy-Williams <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from Ben Guy-Williams <[email protected]> --- In the context menu item is marked Ctrl_Shift_N which has slightly different behaviour and the focus is confusing for some... If I right click a folder, I expect to create a folder inside it (unless I right click the background). - This makes PERFECT sense because the context menu is explicitly tied to the item you clicked. It’s a “do this here” action with a mouse. However, GLOBAL shortcuts apply to the current view, not a specific item. If they acted on the selected folder, it would feel wrong... and what if two folders are selected? what if nothing is selected, simply active? I feel the SAME would apply to the 'global shortcut' Ctrl_Shift_N, which I feel 'naturally' should create a folder in the current view (PWD). These are, I believe, very deliberate patterns developed over many years; I would always expect to select and enter a folder (keyboard) to create a folder inside (just pressing Enter), and with the mouse, enter that folder, then click to create a new one. The idea that these actions should all mix and match perfectly seems wrong when psychology comes into play. So perhaps a solution would be to offer two options if ambiguous: 'create new folder' and 'create new subfolder'. Otherwise the defaults are good. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
