I havn't read this thread so sory if this is a duplicate: One problem with Ctrl+N for new folder is that those people used to emacs/shell keybindings instinctively use ctrl+N instead of reaching for the down-arrow key. Many times I've found ``New Folder''s on my desktop from when the desktop had focus rather than a text-editor and I hit ctrl+N. BTW: There's a similar problem for pressing ctrl+D while editng the name of a file in icon view. Perhaps I should open a bug for that one(?) I don't think people would really want to be duplicating a file when they are already editing the file name. --Ben > If "find" did The Right Thing, I might use it more often than New > Window.
