I already know about the Shift + Click key combination. But, why can't we
do it the photoshop way? It's a straight forward thing to open a new layer
without pop-up.

I also think certain usability issues in Gimp should be voted upon in order
to get a good idea of the majority experiences and use that to determine
what improvements are required.
