Photoshop: Ctrl + N as a New layer without annoying popup (Custom shortcut)?

Have you tried using ctrl-alt-shift-N?
Otherwise one could make an Action or a Script that generates a new pixel layer without dialog and assign that a keyboard shortcut.

Yes I use that shortcut daily, but the combination of keys too akward for the fingers, so ti's too slow to use.

It is faster to click new layer icon than to use that shortcut key combination.

It would be great to have ctrl + n as a "new layer / make layer" without new layer popup.

Actions are great, but that particular ctrl + n would be faster than shift + F7 or so.
Just like ctrl + G is fast to use.

I had wrong folder in use!
(old & uninstalled PS CC, not CC 2014 which I currently use)

Now I have Ctrl + N assigned to the newLayer script.

Thank you for your time, I appreciate it!

Hi Vesa, have you tried this with CC 2015? It doesn't work for me. I tried to move the jsx-file to both the scripts folder and the sub folder "Event scripts only", but still PS tries to create a new document instead of a layer.

Yes I've tried it, but it mixes up the system and doesn't work, so you shouldn't use it. It's not good script anyway.

if you use x64 version of photoshop you have 2 directories. So you have to post your script in both
c:program files / adobe / photoshop cc / presets / scripts AND
c:program files(x86) / adobe / photoshop cc / presets / scripts ....folder.
