Is there a keyboard shortcut to create a new subflow within the Designer window?

    The following key sequence will get you to create a new flow; not really a hot-key, but it works:

     

    1) Alt

    2) 14x{Tab}

    3) End

    4) Down Arrow

    5) Enter

    Thanks for the reply. This would definitely help if my mouse is broken but I was looking for the shortcut, as you can tell.

     

    It is surprising to me that there's one to create a new flow in the Workspace window (Ctrl + N) but (apparently) not one to create a new subflow in the Designer window. I say it is surprising because users would create way more subflows than flows throughout a development cycle.

     

    If this doesn't exist I would strongly recommend adding one. Is there a way to officially ask for this?

    There is a request list, but I haven't used it yet.  Another option might be a keyboard macro.  I don't know if you have one that is capable, but if you could program that key sequence into a button on your keyboard, you should be able to get there at the click of a button.
