I spend a lot of time sorting photos and frequently use the "New Folder" function which I then commonly have to rename to "photos".
I have set up a folder in "New Items" called "photos" and given "New Items" a keyboard short-cut but it feels like a clunky workround requiring both keyboard then mouse actions everytime.
Is there a way to either...
Create a keyboard short-cut to an individual item within the "New Items" list
OR
A way to customise the default "New Folder" function so that the default new folder is called whatever I want it to be e.g., "photos."
Thanks

Are you able to shed some light on how to set up a keyboard short-cut to an individual "New Item" as well as I suspect that could be useful.Both would be possible.
