Description

Increasing Access

Description: Currently, users must manually click a button or use a menu option to create a new folder in the application. To improve usability and efficiency, I propose adding a keyboard shortcut for this functionality.

Feature request details

Proposed Solution:

  • Add a keyboard shortcut(eg. cmd/ctrl +shift+N) to create a new folder.
  • Ensure the shortcut is clearly documented in the application's help or settings menu.

Accessibility Considerations:

  • Ensure the shortcut does not conflict with existing browser or system shortcuts.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing new-folder action and the application's keyboard-shortcut handling, then check for conflicts with browser or system shortcuts. Done means the shortcut creates a folder reliably and is documented in the help or settings UI.
