How to create a new folder in visual studio - keyboard shortcuts

Hello everyone!

Creating a new folder in Visual Studio manually (by using the mouse) is a bit annoying process. I like to use shortcuts for such kinds of routines. And this note shows several options for how to create a new folder in Visual Studio by using shortcuts.

Option 1

1. Ctrl+Alt+L - switch focus to Solution Explorer
2. Press one at a time Alt, p, d

Option 2

If you use Resharper for Visual Studio

1. Alt+Shift+L to focus on Solution Explorer
2. Alt+Ins to create a folder

Option 3

Set your own shortcuts

1. Go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keybord
2. Select Project.NewFolder and set hot keys

Option 4 (my choice)

Use VS extension Add New File

Press Shift+F2 to open a dialog and type a file name. The most exciting thing here is by using / you can also create a folder structure where the file will be placed.

Cheers!
