--- Comment #75 from redford <[email protected]> --- Is there a scenario where a user pressing Ctrl+Shift+N actually wants to create a folder somewhere else than in the currently visible one? I think this is the problem, the new behavior just don't have any practical use, while the old one had and was intuitive. (In reply to pallaswept from comment #53) > It's the same in Explorer.

I don't think this analogy works - all these commands (delete, rename, create new) take an argument for the operation and execute it in the CWD. Delete deletes the selected folder in the CWD, rename renames the selected folder in the CWD and create new creates a folder with the chosen name in the CWD. This is how it works in all other file explorers and also in the terminal (rm, mv, mkdir). I saw that you defined "CWD" differently, but in all other tools CWD means the currently displayed directory, not the argument of a command, even in the terminal. (In reply to pallaswept from comment #53) > You're just clicking on the wrong thing and then confused by the computer > doing what you told it to do I don't think anyone here is actively selecting a directory and then pressing Ctrl+Shift+N. We're navigating with the keyboard and operate with shortcuts, which inevitable ends up with some directory being selected after the last operation, but that doesn't mean we want to create a subdirectory there, and I don't think there's any common scenario where such a behavior would be useful.
