Finder "New Folder with Selection" - Shortcut

2022-02-17 19:58:41.449Z

Hi all!

I'm trying to create/modify a shortcut for the finder menu item "New Folder with Selection".

By default the shortcut is control + commnd + C

I want to change that to shift + option + commnd + N

The issue i'm having is the the menu item tital changes depending on how many files are selected. So I'm having a hard time using the ui menu action.

Is there any way to do this?

Try this:


sf.ui.finder.appActivate();

const fileMenu = sf.ui.finder.getElement("AXMenuBar").children.whoseRole.is("AXMenuBarItem").whoseTitle.is("File").first.popupMenuFetchAllItems();

const newFolderWithMenuItem = fileMenu["MenuItems"].filter(i => i["Path"][0].includes("New Folder with"))[0].Path[0]

sf.ui.finder.menuClick({
    menuPath: ["File", newFolderWithMenuItem]
})
