Shortcut for Context Menu>New>Shortcut (like Ctrl-N for new folder)

I'd like to assign a hotkey to the Context Menu>New>Shortcut dialog, so that I can paste what's on my clipboard to the Location of the item field in the Create Shortcut dialog.

Is there a way of achieving this?

Make a lister hotkey which runs Clipboard PASTELINK and it will create shortcuts in the current folder, pointing to the files/folders in the clipboard, without needing to open any dialog at all.

You can create hotkeys via Settings > Customize Toolbars > Keys.

This works perfectly for files :slight_smile:

Is there a similar command to paste a web URL on the clipboard to a shortcut?

Try

@runmode:hide
FileType NEW=.txt NEWNAME="norename:InternetShortcut.url"

echo [InternetShortcut] > "{$newfile}"
echo URL="{clip}" >> "{$newfile}"

Function: MS-DOS Batch
