Not sure if this exists already, but it would be handy to be able to create a new file or folder in whatever directory you're currently within (in the quick explorer) with a keyboard shortcut.

From what I see the only way to do it currently is to select the folder you want to create the new file or folder in, open the context menu with a keybind (\), then use arrow keys to select the new file/folder option. Not too bad, but I use this all the time so the extra 5 keypresses every time get a bit annoying. Also, a bit unintuitive imo to need to have a folder highlighted in the explorer in order to have these context menu options -- I think being inside the folder and then creating the file/folder would be more intuitive (I understand this is how the built in explorer's context menu options work, just giving more reasoning why this feature would be nice).

I'll take a look at something like this for the next major QE release. I'm thinking about allowing a certain amount of hotkey customization, so I can think about adding extra commands then, too.
