10.3: Use Command-N to create new folders
Authored by: fy on Dec 04, '03 05:59:05AM
1. An equivalent and easier way is to type on the terminal

defaults write com.apple.finder NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict 'New Finder Window' '@$N' 'New Folder' '@N';
osascript -e 'quit application "Finder"'; open -a Finder;
2. Two strings depend on the language in which the Finder is running.

Dutch -- 'Nieuw Finder-venster' 'Nieuwe map'
English -- 'New Finder Window' 'New Folder'
French -- 'Nouvelle fen\U00eatre Finder' 'Nouveau dossier'
German -- 'Neues Fenster' 'Neuer Ordner'
Italian -- 'Nuova Finestra Finder' 'Nuova Cartella'
Japanese -- '\U65b0\U898f Finder \U30a6\U30a4\U30f3\U30c9\U30a6'
 '\U65b0\U898f\U30d5\U30a9\U30eb\U30c0'
Spanish -- 'Ventana nueva del Finder' 'Carpeta nueva'
da -- 'Nyt Finder-vindue' 'Ny mappe'
fi -- 'Uusi Finderin ikkuna' 'Uusi kansio'
ko -- '\Uc0c8\Ub85c\Uc6b4 Finder \Uc708\Ub3c4\Uc6b0' '\Uc0c8\Ub85c\Uc6b4 \Ud3f4\Ub354'
no -- 'Nytt Finder-vindu' 'Ny mappe'
pt -- 'Nova Janela do Finder' 'Nova Pasta'
sv -- 'Nytt Finder-f\U00f6nster''Ny mapp'
zh_CN -- '\U65b0 Finder \U7a97\U53e3' '\U65b0\U5efa\U6587\U4ef6\U5939'
zh_TW -- '\U65b0\U589e Finder \U8996\U7a97' '\U65b0\U589e\U6a94\U6848\U593e'
are possible based on the output of

cd /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources;
grep -A 1 -E '<object class="IBCarbonMenuItem" id="(139|186)">' *.lproj/Menus.nib/*.xib
| perl -e 'foreach(<STDIN>){if(/([^\/]*)\.lproj.*"title">([^<>]+)</){print $1." -- \x27".$2."\x27\n";}}'
| iconv -f "UTF-8" -t "UCS-2"
| perl -e 'while(1){$c = getc(STDIN);if($c eq ""){last;}elsif(ord($c)==0){$c = getc(STDIN);
if(ord($c)<127){print $c;}else{print "\\U00".unpack("H2",$c);}}else{print "\\U".unpack("H2",$c);
$c = getc(STDIN);print unpack("H2",$c);}}';

10.3: Use Command-N to create new folders
Authored by: sjoerd on Dec 08, '03 04:14:24PM

And this means that if you apply the original hint, and then change your language preference, Command-N will be back to it's original value. So apparently, the Keyboard Shortcuts in System Preferences do not apply to all languages at the same time. Disappointing!

Btw. I never would have guessed the meaning of the above mentioned portuguese word, and even a portuguese dictionary tells me that it really means the obvious "caldo engrossado com farinha". Any portuguese who can clarify this?
