Hello there!

Is it possible to add a shortcut for "Create document..." subcomponent "Empty file"? The shortcut for create folder is quite handy and it would be a great companion to add one for create file. I have tried to do it manually myself by adding to the "accels.scm" either:

; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/ThunarStandardView/create-archive" "<Primary>n")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/ThunarActions/Tap::create-archive" "<Primary>n")

but none of them work.

Thanks!

Actually, enabling editable menu accelerators using instructions here (http://docs.xfce.org/faq) works for every menu entry except 

- create empty file
- Send to data composition
- Send to mail recipient

Interestingly, these three are under a line, perhaps having a special status. If these would be configurable as all the other Menu entries then that would resolve the issue.
