new folder

Mike B. #102780 When the, Control, shift + N, keystroke doesn't work I open the context menu, enter on New submenu and enter on Folder. It's nice to have so many options. Take care. Mike.

By the way, if the CTRL+SHIFT+N does not work at any time, you can use the key sequence, ALT+F, followed by W, followed by f, to achieve the same thing. This is what I used to do before I came across the CTRL+SHIFT+N short cut keystroke. Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike B.

JM Casey #102746 It should work in the root directory of the drive, too. I just tested it on my e drive right after opening it and it works there. But seems this command is weirdly inconsistent. I’ve never had ctrl-shift-n fail to work, so I just use that..I don’t thinkt aht keystroke is going anywhere toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Mike B.

Dave Durber #102735 Brian: To confirm, I did use the number 2 on the numbers row. Dave toggle quoted message Show quoted text ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Vogel To: main@jfw.groups.io Sent: Thursday, November 24, 2022 4:36 PM Subject: Re: new folder Also, to be perfectly clear, in the ALT + 2 command you must use the 2 on the number row, not in the number pad. I realize most screen reader users will have the number pad in use for screen reader commands to begin with, but I have occasionally seen folks try certain "digit" shortcuts with the NumLock on and the digit on the number pad, and very often this will not work. Sometimes it matters whether we're talking Num Row or Num Pad when it comes to the digit press. -- Brian - Virginia, USA - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 22H2, Build 19045 If you cannot or will not imagine the results of your actions, there’s no way you can act morally or responsibly.
