Description of the new feature / enhancement

If a user presses CTRL+SHIFT+N to try creating a new folder in File Explorer, the Templates folder will open in a new window. It'd be great to change the New+ keyboard shortcut that opens the Templates folder in a new window, so that CTRL+SHIFT+N can always create a new folder.

Scenario when this would be used?

Add a Keyboard Shortcut option.
The default keyboard shortcut for opening the Templates folder in a new window is CTRL+SHIFT+N.
Let a user edit the keyboard shortcut for opening the Templates folder in a new window.

Supporting information

Changing a keyboard shortcut for opening the Templates folder in a new window can have less conflicts with pressing CTRL+SHIFT+N in File Explorer to create a new folder.

Replacing the native shortcut is totally unnecessary because how often does one need to add New+ templates?
And how often does one need to create new folders?

The latter much more. I had to disable New+ because of the unexpected replacement of the native keyboard shortcut.

It'd be impossible to press CTRL+SHIFT+N in order to create a new folder because when New+ is enabled, it opens in its window instead. As always, a new folder can be created by right-clicking in a white window of File Explorer, pointing to New, and clicking Folder.

I use CTRL+SHIFT+N to create a new folder dozens of times a day. Hoping an option can be added to allow the user to change this New+ shortcut.

I hope so.
