I just want to make several comments to this topic:
1) The Alt+f+w+f shortcut may fail in language versions
other than English. It's clear that one has to change the
f+w+f sequence to match the actual menu (Alt+s+n+s
in Czech for example), but here you can easily run into
troubles. When you select a folder prior to aplying the
shortcut (imagine that you want to copy the folder to
a newly created folder, you select the source folder
and press ctrl+c) and than try Alt+s+n+s, the n
shortcut takes you to Sharing (SdileNi in czech) and not
to New (Novy in Czech; Sharing is first in the menu).
Which means that in many situations the shortcut does
not work. Thanks, the localization team...
2) Psion 5mx has it (Ctrl+Shift+N for new folder,
Ctrl+N for new file), Mac has it (Apple+N), why
Windows does not is a mystery. This is essential.
3) A personal one:
I can hardly understand that after about 20 years of
Windows development there still is no shortcut key for
such a frequent action like creating a new folder. Please
tell me, Mr. Gates... Maybe a vision...
