Windows 10 uses a ribbon in File Explorer. One of the side effects of this
is that you get some alt-number shortcuts. You can change their definitions,
but they come with a few. And they are not very consistent among programs,
and I think not even consistent within parts of some large programs. So I
tend not to use them.
By default, ctrl-shift-N is the Window-Eyes hotkey for reading a field name.
So unless you have remapped this key, you might need to press the bypass
keystroke first. To check your current Window-Eyes hotkey mappings, you can
use Insert-1.

Subject: Re: Command for new folder creation
OK, so is this a new feature of Win10?
If I understood the initial message right, sitting Windows Explorer, you
should be able to press Alt-2, and get the creation of a new folder. I
tried with my Win7 system, just for the fun of it. Went to Windows
Explorer, hit Alt-2, and a little later Google Chrome opened. I thought
that was strange enough, but decided to explore what would happen if I
pressed Alt-3. Guess what, Google Chrome came up once again. I now
decided to test the alternativ that was mentioned, Ctrl-Shif-N, in my
Windows Explorer. To disappoint any Win7 users, it generated no action
at all.
I know, this was a Win10 question, and hope not to put anyone off track.
Just thought how strange it is, that not only does it seem to be
different from one system to the other, but even might generate
different results from one Operativ System to the next one. Yet another
challenge, when developers are not too consistent with their hotkeys.
Particularly as menu and ribbon navigation increasingly becomes more of
a job.

I'm not aware of a way to edit these types of commands, but you may be
able to find it with a little help from Google.
Good luck,

Hi Donald,
I never knew about the alt-2 command. I am currently running version
1903 and this command does work. The shift-control-n command does
nothing on my computer. I find this a bit funny that we both are
running 10 but have to use different commmands to do the same task.

I’m running W E 9.5.4.0 on a Windows 10 desktop; operating system
windows 1809, a recent version. I realize that 1909 is the latest,
but I am in no hurry to upgrade.
When I first installed the earliest version of Windows 10, the
command to create a new folder was alt 2. For the past several
months, I can no longer use Alt 2 to create a new folder. Instead,
shift control N will create a new folder. This is true regardless of
whether I am using Window-eyes or Jaws 18. I have never knowingly
installed a key remapper on this or any system, so I have no idea
whatsoever as to why I can no longer use alt 2. Could any lister
explain why this might have happened and also how I can get alt 2
back as the appropriate command for folder creation.
Thanks.
