10.3: Use Command-N to create new folders
Authored by: BarracksSi on Mar 15, '04 07:17:06PM

That's what I say, too. I create & close Finder windows all the time now, while I create a new folder only once in a blue moon (last time I did that was a week ago... and before that one, maybe a month ago). It only makes sense to activate the more commonly-used command with fewer keys.

People forget that, once upon a time, they didn't know a blasted thing about computers, and had to get used to the Cmd-N keyboard shortcut in the first place. We all learned one way; there's no reason we should be afraid to learn something that just might be better than before.

Heck, didn't we get used to having the close, minimize, and maximize buttons in the upper left corner of windows?

10.3: Use Command-N to create new folders

While I'm now used to it, and don't really mind the change, my take on this (and other, similar interface issues) is simply: Choice! It would so easy to add this functionality to the already extant Keyboard pref panel... there is one caveat with this implementation, however. If one heavily modifies all the shortcuts on their personal computer, it would make using another computer clumsy at best- but, again, that choice would be yours to make!
